Dr. Carl Weiss was named as his assailant, but many people believed, and still do, that others might have been involved. He shot Long in the Louisiana state capitol on September 8, 1935, and was killed by Long's bodyguards. Long died 32 hours later from his wounds. Weiss was the son-in-law of a political opponent, a judge who Long was attempting to maneuver out of office.
Huey P. Long was shot three times in the abdomen in the hall of that State Capitol, by Dr. Carl Weiss. He died the next day when surgeons failed to stop major internal bleeding.
Because Huey Long had Dr. Weiss' wife fired from her teaching post, because her father, the Judge Benjamin Pavy was a political adversary. As you might imagine, if you were the judges son-in- law you might be a little peeved too. It was for personal reasons, if not also for political ones.
