Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr.
Andrew Jackson had a duel with a man who was quicker with a pistol than he was,so Jackson let the other man shoot first and then took careful aim and killed the other guy. The other guy missed Jackson's heart because his coat lapel bloused up and disguised its exact location, but did not miss by much. The bullet was too close to the heart to be removed safely so Jackson kept it the rest of his life.

Before he was President, Andrew Jackson killed a man in a pistol duel in 1806. Jackson let the other man shoot first, but the shot missed his heart and he was able to get off his killing shot. Jackson carried the bullet in his chest for all his life, since it was too close to the heart for a surgeon to remove it.

I don't know who he is, but bullet wounds to the heart are survivable if the bullet doesn't do enough damage.
