How many times was George Washington shot?

George Washington was never shot in battle. Throughout his military career, he faced numerous dangerous situations, including battles during the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War, but he was remarkably fortunate in that he did not sustain any gunshot wounds.

However, there was an incident during the French and Indian War in 1755 where Washington’s horse was shot out from under him, and he famously received four bullet holes in his coat, but he himself was unharmed. His survival against such odds contributed to his legendary status and reputation as a resilient leader.
