What looks to be an assassination attempt is barely avoided, while the TV cameras roll.
Video of the incident here:
An unidentified man jumped on the stage and pointed a gun at Ahmed Dogan, the leader of Bulgaria's Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party, during the televised party congress in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is not clear why the man targeted Dogan, who is 58-years-old and has led the party for close to 25 years. Police said that the attacker was 25-years-old and was also carrying two knives.

I saw that on TV the other night.....that is terrifing
So much for the argument about deranged murders, at least in a public assasination attempt like this one. You know the argument that goes something like this: "If they don't have a gun, they will use a knife or other means to kill." He had the gun (which jammed) and two knives and Mr Dogen is not dead.
