The "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" was a famous shootout that took place on October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona. It involved lawmen, including Wyatt Earp and his brothers, and a group of outlaws known as the Cowboys. The confrontation lasted about 30 seconds and resulted in the deaths of three Cowboys and injuries to several others. This event is often depicted in Western films and literature, symbolizing the lawlessness of the American frontier. The gunfight has become a significant part of American folklore, representing the struggle between law enforcement and criminal elements in the Old West.
