TIBUS HETH SHOT BY MYSTERY ASSAILANT AT NEW CALDARI POLITICAL RALLY, CONDITION UNKNOWN
reported by CCP Gnauton | 2012-11-30T17:00:08Z

Tibus Heth, Executor of the Caldari State, has been shot by an unknown assailant at a Provist political rally in the major metropolis of Okushin on New Caldari Prime. The attack, which took place shortly after noon today, caused widespread panic among the assembled crowd of roughly 12,000, necessitating Provist interventionary measures that at last count have left three dead and approximately 200 injured.

Martial law has been declared in the greater Okushin area, with planetwide security measures coming into effect throughout New Caldari Prime. The Caldari Navy and armed forces are on high alert and have ordered reinforcements into every post in the neighboring systems. A defensive forward point has been established by the Caldari Navy off the shoulder of New Caldari Prime, reportedly numbering several capital and subcapital Navy vessels.

Three minutes into Heth's second speech of the day, shortly after a noontime break in the proceedings, a loud report was heard from somewhere to the left of center in the crowd. His body snapping back and sideways, Heth lost his footing and fell, with camera recordings of the incident displaying a small dappling of blood on the ground nearby. Provist security forces responded immediately, firing stun rounds into the crowd. It is unknown at this time whether they have had any success in apprehending the perpetrator, though a number of eyewitness reports indicate a confrontation later took place between Provists and an unidentified robed figure, who apparently dispatched over a dozen guards in armed and hand-to-hand combat before being overpowered and dragged away.

Heth was rushed into a medical shuttle and taken away by the Provist guard. No reports have as yet surfaced regarding his condition.

The Kimotoro Stock Exchange has closed for the rest of the day, while businesses and schools all over the State have likewise shut down early. Several dozen impromptu vigils have formed in the State's largest public areas, and broadcasts are awash with replays of the footage, as well as heated speculation on the nature of the attack.

Neither the Caldari Providence Directorate nor the Chief Executive Panel could be reached for comment.

Oh heck yes.

Provists and an unidentified robed figure, who apparently dispatched over a dozen guards in armed and hand-to-hand combat before being overpowered and dragged away.

Some body wanted that man dead.

Watch his replacement kick off a war. I too am giggling. But more like a hyena.

[Gesakaarin]

Just when I consider going all anti-Heth, he gets shot.

Well, here's hoping the robed figure is an Amarrian and this is the beginning of a proper everyone vs. everyone kind of war.

Edit: Or it's probably Ishukone.

Me, I've been thinking it's Diana Kim trying to shoot at a Gallente-shaped shadow and missing. :p (Yes, I'm joking)

Or it's the ghost of Gariushi.

oh boy, would it be fair to say that im getting nervous to think this somehow be blamed on the Federation and suddenly all the squids will go on a rampage?

[NISYN Aelisha]

I think that'd be entirely fair, though personally I am astounded at the stoicism shown but the Caldari rper community.  I was really expecting frothing apoplectic rage and hate crimes left and right.  It has been an odd, but rewarding, day for rp on my end. 

[Aldrith Shutaq]

Stoicism is highly Caldari. The people who play them know what's up.

Also, there are probably plenty of them who are secretly hoping he's dead and the Megacorps will take control again as they should.
