Attempted assassination of Claire Underwood

On July 4, 2017, Claire Underwood, the 47th president of the United States, was shot at while traveling in the presidential state car en route to Air Force One after delivering a Fourth of July speech to American service members. A United States Army officer fired at Underwood's limousine as it passed with a U.S. military-issued handgun, but because the vehicle is bulletproof, she was not injured. The attempted assassination was covered up by the Secret Service and never made aware to the public.
Underwood was made aware of a threat during an earlier meeting with U.S. Vice President Mark Usher and Secret Service agent Rick Bowman, but she refused to cancel her planned appearance. The attempted assassination was orchestrated by businessman Bill Shepherd.
