CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CBS NEWS – CBS has learned that the assassination attempt on President Quasim was the work of a lone gunman. The police, working in conjunction with the Secret Service, have released further details.

The gunman’s name is Terry Lang, forty-eight years old from Kalin, Illinois. The police have learned that Lang had just gone through a bitter divorce and had lost his job.

Last week he received an eviction notice from his landlord for failure to pay his rent. It is believed that Lang had purchased the handgun just a few days before he took a bus to Washington D.C. He was staying at a homeless shelter in suburbs of Washington.

Lang has been described as a loner who seldom spoke and had no friends that anyone was aware of. According to the police, he dropped out of sight right after his eviction and has not been in contact with any family members.

While the actual target is unknown, it is highly likely that his attempt was on the President. Details about how he managed to get so close to the President are still being investigated. So far there is no evidence of Lang having received any outside assistance.

The gun was a 9mm Kinford, a semi-automatic that holds 14 rounds. The gun is highly modified for accuracy. So far the police have not been able to trace where Lang got the gun. According to Metro Police Chief Sellers, it was probably obtained at a gun show where paperwork is seldom completed or sales recorded. A large gun show was held at the Kalin Fairgrounds just a week before he boarded the bus to Washington.

President Quasim has been a staunch advocate of removing guns from private individuals. A source in the White House said the President was more convinced than ever that Americans would be a lot safer if guns were allowed only to military and police personnel.

Other anti-gun advocates have spoken out harshly against private ownership of all types of guns. They plan to make a major push to change the intent of the 2nd Amendment. The White House has promised to help with this cause.
