Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was standing on the balcony in front of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, when out of nowhere, he was shot. The .30-caliber rifle bullet entered MLK's right cheek, traveled through his neck, and stopped at his shoulder blade.

Then, at 6:01 p.m., April 4, 1968, a shot rang out as King stood on the motel's second-floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek, smashing his jaw, then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder. Abernathy heard the shot from inside the motel room and ran to the balcony to find King on the floor.
