A Battle
Before Holliday entered the scene, the Earps disarmed Clanton and brought him to court. Clanton might have been behind bars but got other cowboys to back him up. It included his sibling Billy Clanton and Frank and Tom McLaury. Holliday faced them with the Earp brothers: Wyatt, Morgan, and Virgil. Now, there are debates about what came after. However, it is known that the field lit up with a blaze of shots. Everything fell silent half a minute after that. The men fired 30 bullets in the short but brutal standoff.

Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers died there and then. Meanwhile, Ike Clanton escaped. Reports said that Holliday might have shot them all dead. He, Virgil, and Morgan were wounded but emerged as the winners. The shootout came to be known as the fight of the O.K. Corral as it happened several doors away from the Corral. It was one of the most famous battles of the time and has been depicted in TV shows and movies. However, this was far from the end for Holliday as well as the Earp brothers.
