Original Note:
The gun misfiring is false as the perpetrator Enimehmedov was holding a gas pistol that was loaded with pepper spray, with two other "bullets" being simply noisemakers. He reportedly wanted to show the politician that he wasn't untouchable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/20/bulgaria-turkey#:~:text=Police%20now%20say%20Enimehmedov%20was,Sofia%2C%20but%20failed%20to%20shoot.
