People start to stare at the men because they are shouting. Romeo walks out of one of the shops carrying a bag of cotton and is seen by Tybalt. Mercutio draws pistol. Tybalt draws his pistol. Romeo shoots his gun in the air to try and get Mercutio and Tybalt to stop fighting, but Tybalt hears the shot and thinks that Mercutio shot at him, so he shoots Mercutio. When Mercutio says, “They have made worms’ meat of me” Romeo realizes that Mercutio is injured and throws his gun to the ground in a fit of rage. Tybalt walks up beside Romeo. Romeo turns and threatens Tybalt and then picks up his gun and uses it to shoot Tybalt. Benvolio gives Romeo the keys to his car and tells him to leave.
