Shot in the chest (and showing the audience his bloody shirt), Roosevelt went on to give a 55 to 90 minute talk (reports vary on the length) before being treated for the injury. After 8 days in the hospital, Roosevelt went back on the campaign trail.

He was a powerful and controversial figure in Louisiana politics (and probably gained power through multiple criminal acts).
