The Assassination of the Romanos

A loyal checka officer had already taken over command of the house of special purpose on july fourth, before all that went down. The family was told there had been some shooting in town and that they were all going to move to the basement for their safety. Then suddenly, the cheke commander entered the small room flanked by ten men, all armed with revolvers. Without any warning or ceremony, he pulled out a piece of paper and read a death sentence. Nicholas could only respond, what what? Before the cheka commander shot him point blank in the chest, killing him instantly. Alexandra attempted to cross herself, but was similarly shot point blank And died instantly.
