She took the guns that were pre-loaded by Will Robinson and was the last person to have access to them before the bullet catching act. She was on stage when her husband died on March 24, 1918, when his bullet catch routine went wrong. The new 18 year old assistant named Crowley is the one whose gun fired the deadly shot.
