King Alexander was shot by member of the pro-Bulgarian International Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO or VMRO) as he sat in a car, winding through the streets of the city, surrounded by a large crowd. It appears that the camera was rolling at the moment the assassination occurred, but the sound of gunshots was added in later to heighten the drama. However, the events immediately before the assassination and the chaos that ensued after is real, unaltered visual footage. Content warning: sounds of gunshots and image of the dead body of King Alexander\n
