Died: September 19, 1881, in Elbberon, New Jersey after being shot July 2 by Charles J. Guiteau, in Washington D.C.. Charles was a man who had been refused a political job. James Garfield was the second president shot in office. Doctors tried to find the bullet with a metal detector invented by Alexander Graham Bell. But the device failed because Garfield was placed on a bed with metal springs, and no one thought to move him.
