Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was shot in Sarajevo by Bosnian assassin Gavril Princip on June 28, 1914. Princip also shot Ferdinand's wife Sophie. The archduke died within minutes of the shooting. His wife dies en route to the hospital.

The assassination led to the beginning of World War I on July 28, 1914, when Austria declared war on the Serbs.
