No, but there were two plots to do so, the people were caught and put to trail
1. Among those "reliable" persons who were named were Bogdan, Zinoviev's former secretary, Radin and Faivilovich, active Zinovievites, and Rumyantsev and Kotolynov, the terrorists, who were executed in connection with the murder of Kirov.
Vyshinsky (to Bakayev): Did Bogdan receive any instructions?
Bakayev: Yes.
Vyshinsky: From whom?
Bakayev: From Zinoviev. On Zinoviev's instructions Bogdan was to shoot Stalin in the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
2. Prisoner Fritz David, said to be a German, confessed that at the 1935 Comintern Congress he sat in a box clutching in his pocket a pistol with which to shoot Stalin. "The chance did not come, however," added David. "Police were in the same box with me." Over & over Kamenev, Zinoviev and other prisoners got around to confessing in various ways that their purpose as conspirators was simply to kill Russia's pres-ent rulers and become masters of the State themselves, with no program in mind as to how they would run Russia, and no smallest criticism at the trial last week of anything ever done by Joseph Stalin.

No, he died of a stroke. He was so feared that nobody dared to knock on the door, so they asked Stalin's governess to do it , and they found Stalin fallen besides his bed, unable to speak. Shortly he died

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that he did in fact get shot earlier in his life. Maybe during the revolution. But I think it was a relatively minor wound.

No - he died a natural death.
It is interesting that when he died his aides did not try to wake him (for fear of incurring his displeasure) and he was not pronounced dead until his body was cold and stiff.
