Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton held their duel in Weehawken, New Jersey, on July 11, 1804. Alexander Hamilton fired into the air, missing Burr, but Burr fired directly at Hamilton, striking him in the abdomen above his right hip. Hamilton sustained damage to his liver and several other internal organs, and his spinal cord was severed, leaving him partially paralyzed. A doctor briefly revived Hamilton, but he died the next day. Aaron Burr was charged with murder in both New Jersey and New York, but neither case went to trial.
