|| Convite para um homicídio (III)
«As Franz Ferdinand made his way to a town hall meeting, two would-be assassins failed to act, but a third by the name of Nedeljko Čabrinović threw a bomb toward Ferdinand's vehicle, which bounced off the convertible cover and back into the street. Upon this failure, Čabrinović swallowed a cyanide pill and jumped into a nearby river. After the meeting, Ferdinand and his wife Sophie left to visit those injured by the earlier bombing, but their new vehicle stalled shortly after. At this point, an assassin by the name of Gavrilo Princip ran up to the car and shot Ferdinand twice in the chest. When asked about his condition after being shot, Ferdinand said "It is nothing."
