Harry Whittington
Harry Milner Whittington (March 3, 1927 – February 4, 2023) was an American lawyer, real estate investor, and political figure. He received international media attention following an incident on February 11, 2006, when he
was accidentally shot in the face, neck, and torso by then-United States
vice president Dick Cheney while hunting
quail with two women on a ranch in
Kenedy County, Texas, near
Corpus Christi. It was the first time someone had been shot by a sitting United States vice-president since
Alexander Hamilton was
shot in a duel by
Aaron Burr in 1804.
