Wow that was lucky. Classicly predictable that it turned into a mob stomping after too. For those that don't know, there is a lot of tension between the ethnic Turk population and the others in Bulgaria. This tension goes back 100s of years and has to do with Bulgaria being conquered and freed over and over in border expansions and contractions of the Turkish Empire.

Jeez, thats pretty crazy! Looks like that guy reacted quickly and pushed the gun away from pointing at him, probably much quicker than most would. However, it also looks like the security guards' reaction time was a little slow, but its hard to say for sure without a wider angle view of everything.

what kind of crappy little pistol was that???

One that most likely wasn't tested for functionality before being used in an assassination attempt

[blacklabel]

He got head stomped a couple of times there. Crazy.

[cofi]

the story on fox is its a gas gun, which is normally not lethal.

looks like it just shoots tear gas.......

looks like it just shoots tear gas.......

High capacity tear gas gun? Didn't look like it.

Any given moment, any given day. I didn't read the story. Were the attacker's motives identified?

Holy crap! I bet that guy shit his pants! They were handing it to the assassin while he was on the ground [ROFL1]

[Clint45]

I nominate this goofus for a Darwin Award. Wow, I bet they didn't even realize it was a gas gun either.

[bryjcom]

The more I think of it the more I believe him to be a patsy. I mean, what moron grabs a non lethal gas gun to assassinate a political figure?????

I think its more likely that he was given it by certain individuals and was told it was a loaded handgun and all he had to do was pull the trigger.

Just a theory, that's all......

[Aloha_Shooter]

I hate to be suspicious but ... the assailant is an ethnic Turk, the "victim" was an ethnic Turk party leader, the weapon in question was a GAS pistol and the guy at the podium reacted so fast you'd have thought he was clairvoyant. Hmmmmm ....[Coffee]

Prob the type the GOV allows them to have...........

[DavieD55]

Damn!

[Tinelement]

What he did was stupid and wrong!!!!


But I just laughed my ass off with those old dudes kicking and punching!!

[Kraven251]

When I heard it malfunctioned just assumed it was a HiPoint
