PRESIDENT SHOT AT POINT-BLANK RANGE
On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shaking
hands at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, New York,
when a 28-year-old anarchist named Leon Czolgosz approached
him and fired two shots into his chest.
The president rose slightly on his toes before collapsing forward,
saying “be careful how you tell my wife.”

WHEN THE MASSACRE AT MUNICH BEGAN
During the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich, in the early
morning of September 5, a group of Palestinian terrorists
stormed the Olympic Village apartment of the Israeli athletes,
killing two and taking nine others hostage.
The terrorists were part of a group known as Black September,
in return for the release of the hostages, they demanded that
Israel release over 230 Arab prisoners being held in Israeli jails
and two German terrorists.
In an ensuing shootout at the Munich airport, the nine Israeli
hostages were killed along with five terrorists and one West
German policeman. Olympic competition was suspended for
24 hours to hold memorial services for the slain athletes.
In the aftermath of the murders at the ’72 Olympics, the Israeli government, headed by Golda Meir, hired a group of Mossad
agents to track down and kill the Black September assassins.
