Couldn't that be a coup d'etat?
Adele
To my way of thinking it would ONLY be a coup d'etat if the intention of the One Person was to change the DIRECTION and political / economic / military / social complexion of the government/country by the action. Otherwise, IMHO, it is just an assassination...as they are all made to look....but almost none are! So, it COULD, but is rarely portrayed that way....even when there is only one shooter with broader intentions than the death of one leader.
