God did punish Charles Adolphus Whitman. He died in a Boynton Beach nursing home, stupefied by Alzheimer's, friendless and ostracized, in 2001. (The Palm Beach Post)

By the end of the day, 17 people (including Whitman) were dead or dying, and 33 were wounded. When Gunby finally made it to the hospital, doctors found that Whitman’s bullet had severed his small intestine. As doctors performed surgery to repair the intestine, they also discovered that Gunby had only one kidney and that it, too, had been damaged by bullet fragments.

According to published reports, Gunby never fully recovered. After the shooting, he suffered repeated kidney problems and eventually received a kidney transplant. His body rejected the new kidney, and he almost died.

Gunby finished his degree and settled here in Fort Worth. He raised two children with his wife and worked at General Dynamics. For the last 27 years of his life, Gunby endured kidney dialysis three times a week. He was in constant pain, but that didn’t stop him from being a good provider, father, and husband.

On Nov. 7, 2001, Gunby decided to stop dialysis. He was pronounced dead at Harris Methodist Hospital a week later. He was Whitman’s 18th victim.
