James Garfield was shot in the waiting room of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad station in Washington, DC on July 2, 1881 at 9:30. The president was hit twice and died 80 days later from an infection in the wound. He was on his way to visit his wife who had malaria and went to New Jersey to try to recover. Charles Guiteau was the gunman. He thought that Garfield owed him an appointment to an ambassadorship.
