Whittington was shot in the face, neck, and chest and flown by helicopter to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital where he suffered a minor heart attack due to the shot pellets lodged near his heart. The incident was dubbed Quailgate in the media, and became the subject of jokes, satire and public ridicule. Both Cheney and Whittington called the incident an accident.
