His body fell lifelessly to the floor and from the direction of the bullet, a man with a sniper pulled back from a building roof beside them.
The crowd turned to screams and gasps as this occurred, while the soldiers that surrounded the mayor were quick to act.
The man with the sniper hastily threw it to the side and tightened his bulletproof vest as he began his escape.
However, before he could try to jump off the building, several soldiers charged out from the door that led to the lower floors of the building.
They aimed their rifles at the man and were not the slightest bit hesitant to fire.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The shots fired off and even with his vest, their rifles' bullets tore right through it like paper.
The man fell, dead, to the ground and the soldiers started to encircle the group of spectators, to ensure their protection.
"Please do not move!" One of the police officers shouted to the group.
