Minister Riddle in Stable Condition after Murder Attempt by: Barnabas Cuffe Today, after a night spent in intensive care at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, representatives for the hospital say the Minister of Magic is in stable condition. This comes after a brutal and violent attempt on Minister Riddle's life yesterday during his first press conference following a diplomatic tour to countries across Europe. Both the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's are enforcing the highest alert of security, insuring the safety of the Minister and other victims of the attack. Names and information on the dead and wounded have not yet been released, save for the perpetrator of the apparent terrorist attack on the Minister - Gilbert Vance, former head of the Office of Misinformation in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. | In recent years, muggles have invented forms of the weapon that make use of gunpowder and other igniting substances within the bullet itself, where only a direct mechanical force applied to the back of the projectile will cause it to shoot out of the "gun." Injuries are caused by the red-hot metal piercing the victim's skin and internal organs, and bullets have also been known to explode and leave molten shards of metal within the body. Gilbert Vance used this muggle technology to attempt to end Minister Riddle's life, and other unreported victims. |
