If you don't get medical attention right after or soon after being shot in the leg then yes you could die from the gunshot to the leg.

The death from gunshot to the leg usually occurs because of loss of blood which means you'd bleed to death or due to an infection from the open wound or bullet.

After being shot in the leg do everything you can to stop the bleeding but do get medical attention as soon as possible.
