On July 10, 1981, Ken McElroy was shot to death, by at least two different guns, while sitting in his truck in front of the pool hall in town. Though dozens of people saw the event, all denied seeing anything that would help identify the shooters.[3] He was known as the "Town Bully" for his abuse towards the citizens of Skidmore.
