Assassination of Daniel Thorne

On February 27, 2021, during a public press conference at Roblox HQ, 13th Robloxian Minister Daniel Thorne was assassinated by a 5 year old Roblox HQ staff member while speaking on global freezing. The weapon used by the shooter was a DMR sniper with .38 caliber bullets, which was suppressed, only making a quiet "pew" noise when fired, and hit Thorne in the leg. Thorne looked behind him and brushed it off, not realizing it was a gunshot. The second shot fired hit Thorne in the back, where Thorne collapsed off the stage and into the crowd of news reporters and attending civilians. Secret Service officers called the ambulance while the ones inside quickly stormed up the stairs to find the shooter. Just 6 minutes after Thorne was shot in the back, Secret Service found and apprehended the shooter. Paramedics arrived after 3 minutes and Thorne was rushed to the hospital, holding on for dear life. At 12:43pm, 20 minutes after Thorne was shot in the back, Thorne died in the hospital. Paramedics announced the death and stated that the .38 caliber bullet lacerated his femeral artery and caused major internal bleeding and external bleeding. Thorne became the first Robloxian Minister to be assassinated. On March 6, the shooter was convicted of the murder and on March 9 was sentenced to the death penalty after 5 years in prison and placed on suicide watch.
As of September 4, 2022, the shooter is alive.
