Assassination attempt on Robert La Follette

The assassination attempt of Robert La Follette was a failed attempt to assassinate Mistlân District Attorney Robert La Follette, due to his investigation of the Doggerland Mob. Lourens Platenkamp, a sniper who was hired by Doggerland Mob boss Issaac Lievendag, shot La Follette in the right shoulder while he was stepping out of his car at 8:12 AM on January 20, 2013. Platenkamp was arrested a few days later and told the police that Lievendag told him to do it. Both men were arrested and convicted, but Lievendag escaped from prison after serving two years. Platenkamp is serving a life sentence.
