A friend of mine, the Vt. dairy farmer down the road a mile from camp, three years ago on opening day... 2016 was hunting 300 yards below my camp. These toms were together and when he shot the biggest the other one started to kick the snot out of the dead one, so he shot that one too.

I have seen that happen several times using archery equipment. Never had it happen while gun hunting, seen it on the outdoor shows plenty though. Must be sorta common.

I've killed two gobblers after they pounced on a bird I'd shot. Both were accidents as I thought the second bird was the first one getting up to run off. On two other occasions I got two Toms with one shot, again, by mistake. I guess there's bad luck in turkey hunting...and then there's my luck (a.k.a. dumb luck).
