...newly formed Anti-Corruption Council when he was struck in the chest by a single bullet fired from an abandoned office on the third floor of a building 200 m away from the government headquarters he was about to enter. Djindjic's bodyguards bundled him into the bulletproof bmw from which he had just emerged and rushed him to the hospital, where surgeons tried for an hour to revive him. "When we opened him up," said one, "there was a hole as big as a nutmeg at the front of his heart. I think he was dead before he fell...

Nobody was hurt, but Representative John Linder, Barr's opponent in the Republican primary for the state's Seventh District, found plenty of ammunition. At his next appearance with Barr, he joked, "I'm going to wear a bulletproof vest." "It's certainly not a joking matter," Barr shot back, "the way Linder is treating it."
