TOMBSTONE, Ariz. -- Two people were hit with bullets Sunday during a gunfight re-enactment in the Old West town of Tombstone that was supposed to involve blanks.

The shooting occurred Sunday afternoon as two actors in the Tombstone Vigilante group engaged in a standoff as they re-enacted an episode from the town made famous by Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the O.K. Corral.

The Tombstone Marshal's Office said actor Tom Carter's guns fired live rounds, hitting a fellow member of the group.

CBS Tuscon affiliate KOLD-TV, citing the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, reportsKen Curtis was struck in the upper-groin area. Curtis fell to the ground and was flown to a hospital in Tucson, where he underwent surgery to remove the bullet.

Other rounds struck businesses and a female bystander. The sheriff's office told KOLD says the woman was hit by shrapnel and refused medical treatment.

KOLD says Carter arrived late and didn't have his gun properly inspected.

The marshal says authorities inspected the weapon and found one live round in the cylinder along with five casings that indicated the six-shooter was filled with live rounds prior to the skit.
