    Gabriel Narutowicz (March 17, 1865 – December 16, 1922) was the first President of Poland. He was assassinated only a week after his election.

    On December 16, 1922, five days after his inauguration, while attending the opening of an art exhibit at Warsaw's Zachêta Gallery, Narutowicz was shot dead by a mentally-deranged[3] sympathizer of the National Democrats, the artist and art critic Eligiusz Niewiadomski, who was sentenced to death and a month later executed by firing squad.
