LOWELL CITY - A deadly shooting has been reported in sub-urban Lowell City, on Mars. The assailant has managed to evade the justice system, and escape to the colonial districts to the far south of Lowell City, witnesses claim. The victim has been confirmed to be that of NanoTrasen employee, (Captain) Alistair Moreau, a non-commissioned civilian officer of NanoTrasen designated space exodus, NSS Aurora. Mister Moreau was reportedly dead on arrival after medical personnel were able to retrieve his body from his condo in the western district of Lowell City, where political shootings are notorious for occurring frequently. An assailant is yet to be identified, however, several suspects have been brought in for analysis. More on that later.
The Mayor of Lowell City has yet to make a statement. However, the Chief of the Lowell City Police Department has leaked to the press what would appear to be a speech of regret, tragedy and sadness. More on that after this break.
A commercial about Space Cola overrides the news anchor, going on for about two minutes.
You see the Chief of Police walking into view, stepping onto a wooden pedestal to speak. He adjusts the mic, pausing for a moment, before speaking. "Anytime you lose... any of your people in these kind of tragedies, particularly, when we have these kind of tragedies in our streets, the streets we're supposed to protect, and these communities; families, friends... we're doing something wrong. Something is clearly wrong with our matters of defense and protection," Chief Donald began to say, the camera cutting off as he walked off stage.
This is a very -real- threat, in our community. Poverty is beginning to hit the more vulnerable districts of the Mars colonial system, and these people are taking their wroth onto innocents, such as mister Moreau. More on the subject later this week, as we move onto the weather patterns.
The channel flips again, turning to a commercial. As you can only assume, the weather forecast will be announced once it's over.
