I think this qualifies as the “holy crap” story of the day, if not week.

Man points gun at leader of Bulgaria’s Turkish party

(Reuters) - A man jumped on stage and pointed a gun at the leader of Bulgaria’s ethnic Turkish party before security guards wrestled him to the ground during a televised conference on Saturday.

Ahmed Dogan, the long-time leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) escaped unscathed, and it was not immediately clear why the attacker had targeted him at the party congress in downtown Sofia.

Police said they had arrested a 25-year-old man from the Black Sea town of Burgas who was also carrying two knives.
