Franz Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian province of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on June 28, 1914. The assassination took place at a street corner near the Latin Bridge, specifically in front of a shop called Schiller's. Gavrilo Princip, the assassin, fired two fatal shots while standing on the street corner as Franz Ferdinand's car had stalled while reversing after a wrong turn. The first bullet hit Franz Ferdinand in the neck, and the second hit his wife Sophie in the abdomen. Both died shortly afterward.
