27th August 2023 Attack

## 26th August 2023 Attack

The **26th August 2023 Attack** was an attempted bombing of a public bus in Pedranier by the outlawed and far-right neo-nazi FNSF. The attack was stopped last minute as three police officers in an undercover car had noticed suspicious behaviour. As the police made their presence known, the assailants quickly changed plan and a firefight took place. The attack was supposed to have take place on the 412 Bus, that was due to arrive in 4 minutes at the time of the firefight. If the attack had taken place, up to 21 people could have lost their lives on the bus.

The attack resulted in the death of 27 year old officer Novmer Carington.

### Attack

The three had left their car at around 7:13 pm local time, carrying with them usually large bags. Sergeant Taygen Quadret was on duty with officers Novmer Carington and Kavelmer Gordon. Accoridng to Quadret, it was Novmer Carington who had noticed something suspicious, and Quadret, who was a very experienced officer, had agreed to investigate. The officers left their unmarked BMW X5, at 7:16 pm and began to approach the perpetrators: 33 year old Inverken Ludwig, 37 year old Farimer Gosold, and 21 year old Jaranken von Otto. Ludwig, who was in charge of the group, was caught by CCTV to have said, "they know, take em out." The officers were taken by surprise.

At 7:17 pm, the terrorists began to fire as the officers approach, who were not in cover. Immediately, Novmer Carington was shot in the abdomen three times. He was quickly pulled by Sergeant Quadret, and while Kavelmer Gordon and Taygen Qaudret were firing back with their Glock-17 pistols, the wounded Novmer made an urgent call for help.

Dispatch units alerted the Counter Terrorist Police Units and a local Gendarmerie unit, which quickly dispatched their vehicles and were four minutes away.

At 7:19, Taygen Quadret was forced to tend to Novemer Carington, who was losing blood quickly and had just lost consciousness. By this time, a ricochet had struck Quadret on his upper arm, rendering him useless in the fight, but he still tended to Novemer despite his injury.

At 7:21, just 15 seconds before back up arrived, officer Kavelmer Gordon received a critical injury to his chest, with the bullet narrowly missing major arteries, but damaging a section of his right lung.

When the counter terrorist units arrived, the terrorists were outgunned. Inverken Ludwig was shot in the head, while Farimer Gosold and Jaranken von Otto immediately surrendered to the police and gendarmerie.

### Response

The ambulances were not prepared for this and there was no immediate ambulance available. As such, all three officers were loaded on the Gendermarie vehicles and driven to hospital as quickly as possible. They were taken to the Ayken Lovewater Hospital. While Quadret, who was only minorly wounded, and Kavelmer Gordon had stablised, Novmer Carington suffered from hypovolemic shock and multiple organ system failure three hours after he was shot. He was declared dead at 10:01 pm local time.

#### Immediate Response

The head of the Pedranier Police Department told the FBC that "ordinary police are not equipped with dealing with heavily armed terrorists." He made a call for help, and suggested the government deploy some Gendarmerie and even soldiers to help the police officers.

The SNI called an emergency meeting and raised the terrorist threat level to IV.

Prime Minister Ayken Jenkins had called an emergency meeting at 11:30 pm with the NRP and his cabinet. The Prime Minister announced he would do a press conference the day after.

Strong condemnations came from all parties in Fanahria.

**President Valorken** had made a statement that all three police officers on duty that day would receive the blue heart of Fanahria medals.

#### Responses after

Prime Minister Ayken Jenkins said that offered his "thoughts" to Novmer's wife and commended the offcers for "exceptional courage." After calling an emergency meeting with the Section for National Intelligence (SNI), the Prime Minister later briefed the country on the FNSF and cautioned parents to take more "responsibility over who their children contact online."

The Minister of the Interior and NRP MP, Vikmer Jaris, issued warning to the FNSF and said "we are coming for you. Enjoy constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering if today is the day we come for you. Enjoy sleeping tonight, wondering if tonight is the night we blow your door off the hinges with the Dolphin Guard."

### Aftermath

The Prime Minister had presented a plan to introduce Operation Novmer Carington to the President. The President approved and signed the order to deploy 5,000 men onto the streets to take pressure off of the Police.

Four further arrests had been made as couter terrorist police arrested 3 former soldiers and 1 person, whom one of the arrested terrorists claimed was planning to attack a synagogue.
