Best Answer

He was shot while attending the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo NY on September 6, 1901, less than six months into his second term. He died on September 14, 1901, and his Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, became President.

William McKinley was shot twice by Leon F. Czolgosz, with a .32 calibre pistol. The second shot perforated his pancreas and kidney, and the bullet could not be safely removed according to the attending physicians. He appeared to make a partial recovery, but died a week later due to gangrene.
