RUFUS – A gunman opened fired while President Laylin was heading to Presidential one enroute to North Lorray for a meeting with the North Lorray Republican party. According to Presidential Protective Service agents, the gunman missed and fled on foot.

We will have increased security upon his arrival in North Lorray later today. This gunman must be caught, because someone again tried to kill President Laylin. This is an assassination attempt.”
