Assassination attempt on Friedrich Dixie

Prelude to the Attempt
Senator Friedrich Dixie had made many comments before in the past about his opinions on the Sworicks in Doggerland, all of which had been negative. When he held a rally in Fort Åleselle for his reelection campaign a disgruntled Sworick was there and when the senator walked of the stage to meet and shake hands with the people he took his chance.

The Attempt
At 2:14 after finishing his speech the senator had at first turned to leave but decided at the last minute to walk into the crowd and shake hands with supporters. At about 2:16 he walked into the crowd and shook hands with people and talked with them. At 2:17 the perpetrator, Lourens Terpstra, walked towards the senator with a gun hidden in his paw. As the senator turned towards Lourens Terpstra a witness, Mary Orvile, recounted that "The senator turned towards the assassin and his great smile that he had the entire time turned into a frown and then before anyone knew it two shots rang out. I saw the Sworick with smoke coming out of his paw and realized what had happened I turned towards the senator he had fallen onto the ground. He was yelling out at the Sworick shouting and trying to pull out his own pistol. A man jumped onto the Sworick and wrestled him to the ground."

At 2:18 Lourens Terpstra had shot the senator at almost point blank range. Firing two shots at the senator through his paw. The senator fell down at first grabing at where he was shot, but then began yelling out at the assassin and Sworicks in general while trying to pull out his own pistol. Two of his personal guards rushed over to him and began to check to see where he was wounded. Police apprehended the would be assassin and took him in to custody. Senator Dixie was taken to the the Åleselle Hospital and put in extensive care.
