Chapter 233 Will the Oscars be postponed?
"The Grand Commander was shot and killed by a gunman as he stepped out of the walkway outside the Washington Hilton Hotel at 2:27 pm Eastern Time today. The Grand Commander was shot in the chest and is in stable condition at George Washington University Hospital.
The Associated Press and the United Press released the official news from the White House. The aforementioned news that the general was not injured was wrong. I repeat, the aforementioned news that the general was not injured was wrong.Grand Commander was shot in the chest and is being treated at George Washington University Hospital... in stable condition. "
"What?" Ronald yelled. "Assassinate the Grand Commander?"
"The news is very confusing now. The awards show may be cancelled. I will call you with the latest news." Nisita hung up the phone.
"When is it still thinking about the awards show?" Ronald also hung up the phone.The last leader to be assassinated was John Kennedy.In theory, it happened when I was three years old, and I don't remember it at all.
Picking up the phone, making a long distance call, I found Aunt Karen who was watching the store.
"Have you heard? The commander-in-chief was assassinated and sent to the hospital."
"What?" The aunt who was still in the RTKD dance supply store didn't know the news, "Oh, no, God bless him, don't be like JFK. It seems that the curse has struck again."
"What curse?"
His aunt explained that it was a story he heard when he was a child.Legend has it that in the early 19th century, the Shawnee Indians on American land were massacred after being defeated by the colonists.Their leader, Tecoma, cursed before his death that one of the patriarchs of America would die unexpectedly every 20 years.
After that, every grand commander who takes office in a year divisible by 20 will die in office, either die of illness or be assassinated.This is the famous Curse of Turkomo.
Ronald who hung up the phone couldn't help laughing that his aunt still believed in this superstition. The current commander-in-chief elected in 1980, the previous one who took office in a year divisible by 20 was JFK in 1960.
Hey, these two are just a coincidence.
Roosevelt died in office in 1940.Well, that doesn't strictly count.
Who in 1920 does not remember.Who else is the assassinated commander?Lincoln appears to have been assassinated as well.When did Lincoln take office, 1860?
It really is?
Ronald put aside his messy thoughts and began to switch channels to see which TV station had the latest news.In comparison, the cable channel CUU has more content, and there is a summary of the latest news every 10 minutes. Ronald simply stopped changing channels and stared at it.
"When the first lady entered the hospital, she repeated to the media that he was fine, he was fine. Nancy tried to show the public that the Grand Commander was injured, but she didn't hurt her vitals."
"The White House press secretary stated that the general was shot once, and the bullet hit him in the chest on the left side of his body from six to ten feet away."
"The latest news from the Associated Press, the commander-in-chief was shot several times by a young gunman on the walkway as he stepped out of the hotel after speaking to the American Federation of Labor at the Washington Hilton Hotel. The press secretary was shot in the head and is dying."
"After the shooter fired six shots, Secret Service agents swarmed over him and overpowered him, the cause of the assassination remains unclear."
"Vice President George, was ordered to return to the White House immediately from Austin, Texas. This is the sixth assassination of a President, or a candidate for President, since 1963. People can't help but recall the scene of Vice President Johnson being recalled in 1963. .”
"The commander's X-ray examination results have come out, and indeed a bullet passed through his chest ribs. The hospital spokesman said that the commander has entered the operating room."
The power of modern media began to emerge after the emergency, and various news were constantly updated. Countless American people, like Ronald, stopped their work and began to watch live TV to learn about the latest situation.
CUU began to mark the places where the six bullets hit on the freeze-frame video screen based on the live video and audio recording.Three victims, two rounds hit the armored vehicle, the last one was missed by the heroic Secret Service personnel.
In addition to being shocked, Ronald found that he actually watched it with gusto. This kind of expert analysis is like a real-life detective drama, which is still broadcast live.
At 1:4 p.m. in Los Angeles, [-]:[-] p.m. Eastern Time, the TV station finally announced that the Grand Commander had undergone a successful operation, the bullet was removed, and the Grand Commander had a lung injury and was in stable condition.
After another ten minutes, a still photo appeared on the TV. In the center of the picture were the panicked agents, the general who was pushed into the car, and the bulletproof car.There is a small pistol in the circled area on the right side of the screen.
The host said, "According to unconfirmed information, the assassination was carried out by the .22 caliber pistol pictured on the screen. The assassin was John Hinckley Jr. from Dallas, a successful oil businessman. family, he has no criminal record."
In the midst of the chaos, the host broadcast another latest news, which brought relaxation to the tense people watching the live broadcast.
After being pushed into the operating room, the commander-in-chief took off his oxygen mask and joked to the doctors and nurses in the operating room, "I hope there are elephants in the operating room today."
The chief surgeon who belonged to the Donkey Party replied, "Today, we are all Elephant Party members."
"You can still joke, it looks like it's all right." Ronald thought to himself.
"Ringling, ringing..." The manager, Nisita, called again.
"The latest news is that the evening awards show has been cancelled, and it is tentatively postponed to tomorrow. You can rest assured at the hotel."
Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of live detective medical suspense drama is really good. If you go to the Oscar party, it's a pity that you can't see it for a while.
"In addition, there are rumors that the assassination of the Grand Commander has something to do with Hollywood. You don't want to walk around today, just in case, we will keep in touch."
Ronald got a little nervous again, has something to do with Hollywood?Putting down the phone, remembering that this news may not be known to everyone, I quickly called my friends to inform.
Roger Coleman didn't know the news, so he hurried home with his wife, Julie, and stayed with the three children.
Diane Lane had been notified by her agent, she said she was staying in the hotel with her father and not going anywhere.
"Now NBC is showing a news summary, so watch it quickly." Diane finally said to Ronald.
Tune into the NBC channel, and their reporter Chris Wallace is at the gate of the George Washington Hospital in DC, broadcasting the news.The Grand Commander is in stable condition.
Before entering the operating room, he quoted a famous quote from the former heavyweight boxing champion after losing the game to the first lady, "Honey, I Forgot to Duck."
The camera cut back to the studio, and the NBC host continued the special report.The suspected gunman, John Hinkley, was also picked up.Last year, he appeared at the rally of the former commander-in-chief and also carried a pistol.
And Scorsese didn't call, and Ronald called again.
"I'm Ronald, looking for Marty." Ronald said.
"Who is this?" A strange male voice came through the microphone, sounding low and capable.
"I'm Ronald, who are you?"
"This man said his name was Ronald, do you know him?" There was a burst of inquiry, and finally Marty's wife, Isabella Rossellini, came to answer the phone.
"I'm Isabella, who are you? Why Marty?"
"I'm Ronald, from New York University..."
"Oh," Isabella said to the male voice just now, "This is my husband's student. He also came to the Oscars party. He may have called to ask about our safety."
"Okay, you can talk to him."
"Oh, Ronald, we're fine. They're special agents from the FBI. The gunmen who assassinated the Grand Commander today are crazy admirers of Marty's movie. We're all scared."
Crazy admirer, Ronald thought, "taxi driver"?There are similar plots in there.
"Are you all right? I listened to my agent's reminder that it might have something to do with Hollywood, so I called to ask about your safety."
"Is that Ronald?" Scorsese asked on the receiver, and then he picked up the phone and said to Ronald, "I'm Marty, we have FBI special agent protection, nothing happened. The suspect is pleased." Klee may be Jodie Foster's stalker and has her police record.
Because I'm the director of the movie, we need protection for the time being in case Hinckley has a companion, or a copycat. "
"Is there any companion?" Ronald was startled.Is it possible to act in Los Angeles?
"The FBI is now highly suspicious, because when Hinckley was questioned, he once said a word, will today's Oscar ceremony be postponed?"
"Please don't say too much, Mr. Scorsese, this information is not convenient to release to the public at this time."
"Ronald is my student. Well, I won't talk about it." Scorsese asked Ronald to stay in the hotel carefully, and then hung up the phone.
No real accomplices, going to act at the Oscars party?
Ronald was really a little scared. He called the meal service and decided not to go there. He just watched TV in the hotel.
"ABC's new drama 'America's Last Hero,' will rename main character Ralph Hinckley as Hartley."
"The Dow Jones, S&P [-] are down today, and the New York Stock Exchange is closing early. There are signs of instability in the dollar exchange rate."
"The Air Force Two that the deputy commander-in-chief is on has arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, and the deputy commander-in-chief will arrive at the White House in a bulletproof car."
"The NCAA Basketball Finals has been decided to be held tonight. Indiana University and the University of North Carolina will observe a moment of silence with the [-] spectators at the Philadelphia Stadium."
Why silent mourning, the commander-in-chief is not dead yet.Ronald complained.
"The Oscars award ceremony has been postponed by one day. It is reported that the President recorded a video speech in advance, which was originally scheduled to be broadcast at the awards ceremony. It is not clear whether the organizing committee will broadcast this video tomorrow night."
"What a crazy day," Ronald thought as he sat on the couch eating pizza.
