The First Attempt
This morning, in Sarajevo. Duke Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia were in a parade riding in their vehicle in Apple Quay. There were all kinds of people there to see the couple. Everything was going wonderful, until someone from the crowd yelled “look out.” A object was thrown from the crowd, into the air, the duke’s driver noticed the object and drove faster just in time for the grenade to miss the vehicle, but rolled under the car behind them. There were 7 to 12 reports of citizens inured. A man named,Nedeljko Cabrinovic fled from the crowd, and reached a bridge, he climbed onto the top and took a pill, a cyanide then dove head first into the 6 inches of water below. The cyanide had not worked, therefore a failed suicide attempt, he was arrested.
