The Death of Che Guevara ,Today in 1967. Guevara was asked by one of the Bolivian soldiers guarding him if he was thinking about his own immortality. No, he replied, Im thinking about the immortality of the revolution. A few minutes later, Sergeant Terán entered the hut and immediately ordered the other soldiers out. Alone with Terán, Che Guevara then stood up and spoke to his executioner: I know youve come to kill me. Shoot. Do it. Terán responded by pointing his M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle at Guevara, but hesitated in which Guevara angrily spat at Terán which were his last words: Shoot me, you coward! You are only going to kill a man! Terán then opened fire, hitting Guevara in the arms and legs. For a few seconds, Guevara writhed on the ground, apparently biting one of his wrists to avoid crying out. Terán then fired several times again, wounding him fatally in the chest. Che Guevara was pronounced dead at 1:10 pm local time according to Rodríguez. In all, Guevara was shot nine times by Terán. This included five times in his legs, once in the right shoulder and arm, once in the chest, and finally in the throat. RIP Che Guevara. Your Legacy Lives!
