The New York Times' London bureau received a dispatch earlier today from Vienna regarding a shooting incident that involved Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir presumptive to the Austrian throne.
The Archduke was on a train that was bringing him back from a visit to Romania when "four shots were fired at the royal compartment, passing the frontier, one of which narrowly missed the Archduke."
The train "immediately stopped" and a search carried out to find the shooter. A local landowner, who was carrying a gun, was arrested. He told the police that he was "merely shooting at bears" and he did not know that his shots had hit the train.
