FORT WILLAM - Reports from the Luthorian capital states that the Prince of Orange, William, heir to the thrones to both Luthori and Mordusia has been subject to an assassination attempt during a visit in Fort William. The prince, who was visiting one of the many charities that were sponsored by the imperial family of Luthori was preparing to make a speech before being assaulted by a lone gunman who shouted "Sic semper tyrannis" before firing his gun straight at the prince.
The gun misfired and the prince was unharmed, although the assailiant had time to fire three to five bullets before being immobilised by the Prince's security detail. Out of these bullets, some were deflected upon the crowd and according to the medical and police sources, two people are suffering from bullet wounds from this attempted assassination.
Prince William, has for his part, been swiftly exfiltred from the area and the crowd was summoned to leave the perimeter. The Crown Prince's would-be-assassin if he had succeded has been apprehended by police forces and taken into custody. His identity remains, for now, unknown.
The Prime Ministers of Luthori and Mordusia both were in contact with the Orange Palace, coordinating sources say. His Majesty the Emperor has for his part, refrained from making any public acknowledgment of the incident as of now. Sources say that the Luthorian monarch is expected to make a public statement in the next few hours.
Widespread condemnation of the attack was noticed in the political world, from the left to the right, all parties, in their own manner, condemned the attack, the Deputy Labour leader, Samantha Holl said "it is a disgrace to democracy and Luthori itself as to attack a man which carries the symbol upon which our system is built", this statement was remarked to be more monarchist than some of her colleagues.
Prime Minister Harper promised for a "swift and just retailiation" to the "unfathomable act of cowardice" and the Home Secretary stated that "justice will be quick, efficient and ruthless when dealing with acts of treasons", meanwhile the Justice Secretary stated that the "current legislation would need to be review intensly" by her ministry.
At the dawn of the year 5697, and with the Emperor's Diamond Jubilee being this year and the monarch leaving for Mordusia in a month, worries about the Prince's security detail appeared following what could have been a total tragedy if not averted. No political groups have claimed responsibility for the attack as of now.
