Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. While driving on a bridge during a parade, 8 men from Serbia, armed with crude bombs and weak pistols, set out to kill the Archduke. The first few didn't do anything at all. Then the 4th one threw his bomb but when it hit the back of the car, it didn't blow up. It exploded about 3 seconds later and injured many people. The next 3 didn't do anything either. The driver made a wrong turn; instead of turning left, he turned right and went down the road. While he was making a U-turn, the 8th shooter shot off 2 bullets. The two bullets that were fatal hit both him and his wife. They both died.
