John Wilkes Booth shot him from behind when Lincoln was watching the play Our American Cousin in a balcony next to the stage. Booth jumped from the balcony and caught his spur on bunting, hit the stage wrong, and broke his leg. He limped out to the back of the theater where is horse was waiting and rode out of Washington. Lincoln was carried across the street where he was put in a bed in a second floor room and died at 7 AM the next morning.
