Prince Charles cool under fire at Australia day event
Prince Charles remained unhurt and calm as a 23 year old university student, David Kang, fired blank shots from a starter's pistol during an outdoor Australia Day ceremony in Sydney. Security wrestled the assailant to the ground while the prince continued his speech guarded and then resumed his tour. The incident prompted remarks from NSW Police Minister Terry Griffiths calling it a stunt and raised questions about palace security. Charles, on the third day of a 12 day Australian tour, reassured the public he was fine and planned to press on with engagements.
