Who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand?

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot by a Serb Bosnian student Gavrilo Princip. Gavrilo Princip was part of the Black Hand, a Serbian terrorist group with ties to Serbian military intelligence. 

His aim was to overthrow Austro-Hungarian rule in the Balkans and unite the Southern Slavic peoples into a federation. The first step to that goal, Gavrilo believed, was to assassinate the heir to the Austrian throne. The assaination of the Archduke and his wife would trigger World War 1.
