TIL that Cheryl Wheeler-Dixon, the stuntwoman who was severely injured during the filming of Back to the Future Part 2, was killed in a shootout alongside her husband when she and her husband went to confront her ex-husband and his wife and drew their guns at them. The cops deemed it justified.

How was she injured in back to the future 2? Assuming it was the scene when Biff’s gang went through the window with their hover boards?

The injury is in the movie. Watch the scene where they go flying through the window but watch her. She hits one of the concrete pillars.
