He was killed during a duel by a pistol ball fired by Aaron Burr. Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel and Hamilton is said to have reluctantly accepted the challenge (as was the custom of the times). Apocryphal stories from the time say that Hamilton purposely discharged his pistol with the clear intention of missing Burr, but Burr took careful aim and fatally shot Hamilton.
