AP: Yesterday at 12:09 pm, Vice President Ricardo Venaquanze was shot while on a parade in his Rolls-Royce to his residence, The Vice-Presidential Guild. The slug, a moly coated .334 boat tail round with a full steel jacket, passed through the vice-president's tricuspid valve , damaging his heart and missing his major blood vessels by millimeters. The vice-president's secret service detail rushed the vice-president back into the Rolls-Royce, and brought him to Yewtree City Hospital, where he is listed in the death row, meaning there is a possibility that he could die in a matter of days. He is under heavy guard. An investigation is under way, with local, state, and federal law enforcement officers involved. There has been growing controversy in the citizenry, with there already a gravesite and several flowers laid there already. The vice-president's lack of reaction to stimulus may be a critical issue.

Opponents of firearms ownership have been quick to jump on this attack, calling for increased gun control and banning of any ammunition that can pierce body armor or travel beyond a certain range. Opponents of firearms control have responded, stating that this tragic attack shouldn't cast a bad light on the legal firearms use that millions of Questillian citizens enjoy all the time.


OOC: If someone wants to jump in as the sniper, go ahead.

OOC: I'll be the sniper probably if anyone else joins.

Ok, you can be the 1st of 3 snipers.

OOC: You know, this sounds REALLY familiar. ;) You might want to change that "billions of Questillian citizens" to "millions of Questillian citizens", though.
