Gang Tempers Flare in Tacoma

GANG TEMPTERS FLARE IN TACOMA

"...and the weather will be clearing later in the weekend. Back to you, Allie."

<The camera refocuses on the main news room, where a red head sits, straightening her notes. On cue, she starts up.>

"Thank you, John. Onto our next story."

<A block showing "Gang Tempers Flare In Tacoma" shows up to her right.>

"This past week, Tacoma saw a sharp rise in gang fighting. According to Knight-Errant, it seems these increased tensions started with a gang hit on dockside bar <Name>, a known hangout of the small group Sea Daugz. The building was almost gutted by a small fire before emergency crews arrived. Local officers had this to say about the attack."

<The screen shows an almost generic KE detective, looking annoyed to be on camera.>
"From what we can tell, the attack was perpetrated by another local group, known as The Ragers. This is definitely the sort of attack we have seen them behind, from the dead metahumans, to the burning building. According to eye witnesses, at least one of the perpetrators was shown to be Awakened, very clearly using magical energy against a ganger, while a second took on aspects of a bird. We are currently looking into these statements, and cannot further comment on them."
<The trid moves back to Allie>

"The Ragers are a known ork, troll, and dwarf gang in the Tacoma docks area known for their bias against any other metahumans, formed shortly after the dark Night of Rage. Gunfire reports have spiked in the nearby area afterwards, as well as other forms of violence between the two groups. Knight Errant urges the public to stay out of the area if they can, or at least exercise extra caution. According to the police report, only five bodies were recovered, most of the law abiding patrons seeming to have gotten out early in the attack.

For our next segment, we're going out to John, who is out with the children of Bellevue......"
