Assassination of David Jefferson Adams

President David Jefferson Adams and two members of his cabinet were killed on September 27, 2052 when a plaxia device detonated underneath his vehicle that was a part of the presidential motorcade. The explosions caused by the plaxia device immediately killed president Adams, his Secretary of State Aiden Barrett, and Secretary of Defense Zachary Sutton. In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, several Secret Service agents and other cabinet members were injured. Adams was declared dead seven minutes after the incident. Vice President George Foster, who was not with Adams at the time of his death, was inaugurated later that day, at 2 pm EST.
