The gunfight at the O. K. Corral took place on October 26th, 1881.
It began in the 18 foot wide lot behind the O. K. Carrol next to C. S. Fly's Boarding House and Photo Studio. This inevitable showdown over control of Tombstone climaxed months of threats, romantic rivalries, stage robberies, pistol whippings and arrests.
Police Chief Virgil Earp deputized brothers Wyatt and Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday to help him disarm the cowboys who were waiting to confront Doc when he returned to his rented room at Fly's.
When the shooting started, unarmed cowboy Ike Clanton ran into Fly's and kept on running.
