Tom Robinson got shot 17 times. They were out in the exercise part of the jail and he made a dash for the gate. The guards said he would have been long gone if he would have had two arms. (his one arm is paralyzed, got it caught in a cotton gin) The guards warned him to stop, then they fired in the air, then shot to kill.

People sthat the guards vlaimed that they shot Tom Robinson
He was shot 17 times. They shot him that many times because he was black and they didn't care if one shot would stop him from escaping the prison, they wanted to kill him.
Tom is sent to prison and the guards shot him 17 times to make sure his doesn't escape, but he was not trying to escape. They shot him because he was black. They shot him because he was escaping was a cover up.
Well tbh i didnt really read the book. Because i dont read. But i mean im pretty sure he died with diginity because why would they even ask it if they didnt think it was true.
after the verdict because he was found guilty by the jury and he was sent to jail and as tom tried to escape, he got shot many times...and was killed. :]
Tom was escaping prison, and they shot him. If he didn't have his messed up arm, he would have escaped.
