Who was the first person killed with a gun?
Although firearms of sorts were used in China first ,it was the Europeans who saw the potential of this weapon. No records exist of a China man being killed with a gun before that of a European. In 1415 King Henry V was marching an army of 5,000 men through France when a huge force of 30,000 french soldiers ,mostly knights appeared. The battle of Agincourt took place which was part of the Hundred Years War. This battle was won by the English Long Bow. Although out numbered 6 to 1 the English massacred their French foes. After the battle stories were told and corpses were inspected and it seems that at least 1 French soldier had a gun and had killed an English soldier. So in conclusion the first person killed with a gun was an unknown English soldier in 1415.

The Secretary was to perform such duties as the President required, in accordance with the Constitution, relating to correspondence, commission, or instructions to U.S. ministers or consuls abroad, and to conduct negotiations with foreign representatives. The Secretary has also served as principal adviser to the President in the determination and execution of U.S. foreign policy and in recent decades has become responsible for overall direction, coordination, and supervision of interdepartmental activities of the U.S. Government overseas, except for certain military activities. The Act of Congress of Sep 5, 1789, that changed the name of the Department of Foreign Affairs assigned various domestic duties to the Department of State. Nearly all were later reassigned to other agencies. This list does not include individuals designated to act as Secretaries of State when the Secretaryship was vacant. These individuals are usually referred to collectively as Secretaries of State ad interim.Secretaries of State, 1789-2005Creation of this Position Name: Thomas JeffersonState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Sep 26, 1789Entry on Duty: Mar 22, 1790Termination of Appointment: Dec 31, 1793Name: Edmund RandolphState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Jan 2, 1794Entry on Duty: Jan 2, 1794Termination of Appointment: Aug 20, 1795Name: Timothy PickeringState of Residency: PennsylvaniaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Dec 10, 1795Entry on Duty: Dec 10, 1795Termination of Appointment: May 12, 1800Name: John MarshallState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: May 13, 1800Entry on Duty: Jun 6, 1800Termination of Appointment: Feb 4, 1801Name: James MadisonState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 5, 1801Entry on Duty: May 2, 1801Termination of Appointment: Mar 3, 1809Name: Robert SmithState of Residency: MarylandNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 6, 1809Entry on Duty: Mar 6, 1809Termination of Appointment: Apr 1, 1811Name: James MonroeState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Apr 2, 1811Entry on Duty: Apr 6, 1811Termination of Appointment: Sep 30, 1814Note: Commissioned during a recess of the Senate; recommissioned after confirmation on Nov 26, 1811.Name: James MonroeState of Residency: VirginiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Feb 28, 1815Entry on Duty: Feb 28, 1815Termination of Appointment: Mar 3, 1817Name: John Quincy AdamsState of Residency: MassachusettsNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 5, 1817Entry on Duty: Sep 22, 1817Termination of Appointment: Mar 3, 1825Name: Henry ClayState of Residency: KentuckyNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 7, 1825Entry on Duty: Mar 7, 1825Termination of Appointment: Mar 3, 1829Name: Martin Van BurenState of Residency: New YorkNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 6, 1829Entry on Duty: Mar 28, 1829Termination of Appointment: Mar 23, 1831Name: Edward LivingstonState of Residency: LouisianaNon-career appointeeAppointment: May 24, 1831Entry on Duty: May 24, 1831Termination of Appointment: May 29, 1833Note: Commissioned during a recess of the Senate; recommissioned after confirmation on Jan 12, 1832.Name: Louis McLaneState of Residency: DelawareNon-career appointeeAppointment: May 29, 1833Entry on Duty: May 29, 1833Termination of Appointment: Jun 30, 1834Note: Commissioned during a recess of the Senate.Name: John ForsythState of Residency: GeorgiaNon-career appointeeAppointment: Jun 27, 1834Entry on Duty: Jul 1, 1834Termination of Appointment: Mar 3, 1841Name: Daniel WebsterState of Residency: MassachusettsNon-career appointeeAppointment: Mar 5, 1841Entry on Duty: Mar 6, 1841Termination of Appointment: May 8, 1843Name: Abel P.

The Secretary was to perform such duties as the President required, in accordance with the Constitution, relating to correspondence, commission, or instructions to U.S. ministers or consuls abroad, and to conduct negotiations with foreign representatives. The Secretary has also served as principal adviser to the President in the determination and execution of U.S. foreign policy and in recent decades has become responsible for overall direction, coordination, and supervision of interdepartmental activities of the U.S. Government overseas, except for certain military activities. The Act of Congress of Sep 5, 1789, that changed the name of the Department of Foreign Affairs assigned various domestic duties to the Department of State. Nearly all were later reassigned to other agencies. This list does not include individuals designated to act as Secretaries of State when the Secretaryship was vacant. These individuals are usually referred to collectively as Secretaries of State ad interim.
