Booth jumped 11 feet to the stage below.

When he hit the floor he snapped the fibula bone in his left leg just above the ankle.

Many in the theatre thought he yelled "Sic Semper Tyrannis" (Latin for "As Always to Tyrants“

Booth flashed his knife at the audience, and he made his way across the stage in front of more than 1,000 people.

Everything happened so fast no one had time to stop him.
