Who shot Booth?

Explanation:
The question tests your recall of who ended the chase for John Wilkes Booth. It was Sergeant Boston Corbett who shot Booth during the pursuit at the Garrett Farm in Virginia. After Booth and his companion were cornered and the barn was set on fire to force them out, Corbett fired and Booth was hit in the head, dying soon after. The other names aren’t tied to the firing that killed Booth in the historical record.
