 It is unknown how many blacks were injured as many fled, and also due to white city officials and most newspapers, opted not to record the injuries of blacks who stayed or returned.For example, in the initial injury list of 62 included 3 blacks, and omitted others, such as Charles Duncan, an elderly black man, stricken with rheumatoid arthritis who was shot in the chest by the mob when he tried to flee his home as they surrounded it.Duncan would later sue the city for his injury.
