Arizona man crushed by giant saguaro after shooting it in 1982

In 1982 near Lake Pleasant, Arizona, 27-year-old David Grundman shot a 27-foot saguaro with a shotgun; a roughly 23-foot section of the cactus toppled onto him, crushing him to death. Some accounts differ on whether an arm broke off or the central column collapsed. There’s no known video of the incident, and the piece ends with a tongue-in-cheek remark about the Second Amendment not guaranteeing victory in a fight.
