On the day of the Assasination, Ferdinand was having a car ride with his family down the River Miljacks, before having lunch at the city hall. Meanwhile the black hand gang had lined them selves along the river and had their weapons and cyanide ready.
As Ferdinand and his wife drove past, gang member 1 threw a bomb at him, but forgot about the 10 second delay. The driver sped up, the bomb bounced of the bumper and injured members of the public, but the duke and his wife ( Sophia) escaped unharmed. The gang member then drank cyanide to try and kill himself, but it was a bad batch and he was arrested.
As the duke and douches drove past gang embers 2-4, the members just looked in confusion at the panic caused from the bomb and missed the royals. driving past. And for some reason, members 5-7 missed him as well.
So Ferdinand went for lunch at the town hall with the mayor and then decided to take a trip to the hospital to see the indjured. But on the way to the hospital, no one told the driver the new route and he accidently drove down Franz Joseph Street. But as he reversed, the engine stalled and he couldn't get it started again.
Just at that moment, Princip came out of the near by deli and made 2 shots with the hand gun he had, which killed the Duke and Duchess.
