Welcome to the off-network news.

In the early morning of Tuesday, the 19 of November, there was a shooting in the harbor area of Locke City after police had been tipped off by a mole about a major shipment of cocaine coming in at that time and location.

In short, two policemen (an NPC and Angela Roth [personal profile] von_uberwolf) and five criminals were killed or died of their wounds over the course of the next week, though a few other criminals, among them Blaine Frost [personal profile] siesinddasessen could escape. A few arrests were later made in connection with the shooting, though not everyone could be identified.

Below is a rundown of the information that could be found on the normal, local, off-network news, TV, radio and newspapers alike, over the course of the two weeks after the shooting. An IC post from the evening news with the first showcasing of a recognizable picture of Angela will be posted tonight.


19th, in the morning: Breaking news, shooting in the harbor area, police against criminals of unknown affiliation. Lots of speculations. During the day, the first pictures of the site and first details will emerge.

19th, in the evening: One police officer dead, another one at the brink of death. Unknown number of victims on the other side, but most of all: First grainy footage of the fight from security cameras, more pictures of police cordoning off an area with the entrance to a warehouse at the center.

20th, pictures of the dead and the critically injured police officers have been salvaged from footage and promptly the search for archive material has begun, also some pictures of involved criminals. Also apparently this is all a part of the war on drugs.

21st, Names are attached to the faces of the two police officers, and the press has started to dig around their backgrounds for emotional details. Slowly, more details about those injured and about the criminals escape as well.

Over the next few days, more and better pictures and footage will emerge, the police will release a statement with some information about how the whole thing was actually a success!!! and most of all information about those criminals that they are still looking for and a request to the public for help. Blaine is mentioned as a ”tall, lean, brown haired man in his twenties”, whom they are looking for in connection with the death of Angela Roth.

After roughly a week, and coinciding with the death of the second police officer, the digging into Angela's background will mostly stop. Digging into the background of a happily married person with children, who used to play football and all, is just a lot more selling than doing the same with a relatively normal single.

When the interest of the news outlets dies down around the end of the second week, no information of much substance will have gotten added to the above.

If there are any questions, comments etc about the whole thing, please use this post for that!
