This may not be reliable, but it's still information.

In my history class, the teacher explained what happened as Ferdinand was shot in the heart. However, I've found quite a few sites that explain him being shot in the neck and his wife in the abdomen. The best way to gain your information with a reliable source (since you can't always trust the internet), is to get books of some sort from your local library or order them online or at a book store. Hope this helps!
