The first attempt to assassinate them was by Serbian nationalist Nedjelko Cabrinovic who tried to throw a grenade under the car- however the bomb rolled off the car along with some bystanders and an officer; he was arrested by the police. Later on, after the ceremony had finished (pictured in the second box) on the way to visit the injured officer, the driver took a wrong turn at the junction of Appel quay and Franzjosefstrasse where one of the Serbian Nationalists, Gavrilo Princip was walking home- thinking that he had failed at assassinating Ferdinand. As he saw the car driving, he spotted the opportunity and reached for his gun- then shot Ferdinand in the Jugular Vein, located in the neck and also shot Sophie in the abdomen. At the time, Sophie was an expectant mother. By 11.30 am, both had bled to death in the car. In the meantime, officers had seized Princip and knocked him down, kicked him, beat him over the head with their swords and scraped the skin off his neck with the edges of the swords- but refrained from killed him (pictured in the third
