Narrative:
Enclosed is the incident report. A major contributing factor was an ice covered runway. It was reported as having fair braking action. In my estimation braking action in the first 1000 ft was in reality 'nil.' on takeoff, due to uneven spool-up, our aircraft veered (slid) to the right. I took control from the first officer and ordered an aborted takeoff. In my attempt to return the aircraft to the center of the runway, it slid off the left side, where we came to a full stop. The #2 engine shut itself down somewhere in the process. I declared an emergency and called for the equipment. I told the tower I would not be able to talk to them further. Due to the unknown operating conditions of the other engines, I elected to shut them all down rather than risk damage to them. I ascertained none of the occupants were injured and there was no threat of fire. I requested from crash fire rescue that they get us a ladder and we evacuate/evacuationed through the main cabin door.

Title: ON TKOF DUE TO UNEVEN SPOOL UP THE ACFT VEERED (SLID) TO THE R. THE CAPT TOOK CTL FROM THE FO AND ORDERED AN ABORTED TKOF. IN AN ATTEMPT TO RETURN THE ACFT TO THE CTR OF THE RWY, IT SLID OFF THE L SIDE WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE ENGS WERE SHUT DOWN AND THE PAX WERE EVACED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND DOWN A LADDER. THE CRASH FIRE RESCUE WAS ACTIVATED.
