Boston Corbett, a sergeant in the US Army shot John Wilkes Booth in April 1865. Booth was trapped in a burning barn with a broken leg and the order was to take him alive. But Corbett claimed Booth was about to shoot a fellow soldier and he had no choice but to shoot him. Booth was hit directly in the neck, paralizing him from the neck down when the bullet tore through his spinal cord.
Booth lasted for another 2 hours but finally sucumbed to his injuries. And Corbett became infamous. Nobody would disagree that Corbett had his mental issues. He castrated himself (ouch) so as to resist sin better. He later fired 2 pistols into a crowded session of the Kansas legislature, which earned him a bed in a mental institution. From there, he somehow escaped and was never seen again.
