 In later years, the newspaper reports led some historians to conclude that Ed had shot his own attackers, and two or three reminiscences have come to light that suggest that Ed might have shot Wagner at least.However, far more of the published accounts by those who were in Dodge City at the time were clear that Bat shot both Wagner and Walker.This is supported by accounts by another Masterson brother, Tom, and Alf Walker's family always believed that Bat had shot him.
