Nicholas II, his German-born wife and their five children were shot by Bolsheviks as a consequence of the October Revolution

They were not "shot as a consequence of". They were deliberately murdered under direct orders from Lenin, Dzerzhinsky, et al.

They were all brought together in a room and were shot and stabbed in a process that took about 20 minutes. Their bodies were then desecrated and disposed of.
