How does Tony die in West Side Story?

First, Anita, angry at the time, tells the rest of the jets to tell Tony that Maria, his one and only love, had died. When Tony gets the news, he is overcome with sadness. So he goes out, and practically commits suicide by yelling for Chino, a member of the opposite gang, the sharks, to come and shoot him. Suddenly he sees Maria, realizes she isn't dead, and they hug. And just as they hug, Chino comes out and shoots Tony in Maria's arms.


What is the problem in west side story?

Lt. Schrank arrives to question Maria, and Anita reluctantly agrees to go to Doc's to tell Tony to wait. At the store, the Jets taunt Anita with racist innuendo and insults. The taunts turn into physical abuse, and Doc returns to the store horrified to find the boys raping Anita. In her anger, Anita, who is in tears, tells the Jets that Bernardo was right about them, and then claims that Chino has killed Maria in jealousy. Anita rushes out of the store, but in the play is shot by Diesel and killed. In the movie, she survives, but is never seen again in the play. Doc relates the news to Tony, who has been dreaming of heading to the countryside to have children with Maria. Feeling there is no longer anything to live for, Tony leaves to find Chino, begging for him to die as well. Just as Tony sees Maria alive, Chino arrives and shoots Tony. The Jets, Sharks, and adults flock around the lovers. Maria holds Tony in her arms (and sings a quiet, brief reprise of "Somewhere") as he dies. Angry at the death of another friend, the Jets move towards the Sharks but Maria takes Chino's gun and tells everyone that hatred is what killed Tony and the others, and now she can kill, because now she hates, too. However, she is unable to bring herself to fire the gun and collapses in her grief, ending the cycle of violence. Gradually, all the members of both gangs assemble on either side of Tony's body, suggesting that the feud is over. The Jets and Sharks form a procession, and together they carry Tony away. Lt. Schrank and Officer Krupke arrest Chino. Maria sits on the ground, looking out, realizing her true love is gone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Side_Story
