SIX DEAD, TWO WOUNDED IN RESTAURANT MASSACRE
Patrons and staff faced death at the "Golden Madonna" in Auburn tonight,
as six diners were brutally slain by a mysterious metahuman gunman!
Riddling his targets with shotgun fire at point-blank range, the Ork
assassin also wounded the doorman and an off-duty police officer who
attempted to interrupt his murderous rampage! Nearly fifty shots were
fired during the savage attack, almost all by the maniacal gunman!

Lone Star Detective Julianne Hart suffered multiple gunshot wounds while
bravely attempting to apprehend this psychotic killer, and is described
as "stable" in hospital! The identities of the six dead have not yet
been released. Two were believed to be minors, young children brutally
gunned down at close range, by a metahuman psychopath who fired
repeatedly into their young bodies!

Lone Star refused comments on whether the attack was racially motivated!
They also refused to identify the victims by race, thus strongly
implying that all six were Human!

Amazing how some journalists can't end sentences except in exclamation
marks! And I have it on excellent authority that the two "minors" were
joygirls, hardly what our hack would have us believe! In fact, word is
this is a Mob hit and the race issue is irrelevant! Why is our hapless
stringer working so hard to distract us from that! What is the Humanis
Policlub being set up for now?!

This, by the way, is the _right_ way to end a sentence. With a full
stop. No exclamation marks anywhere in this paragraph. Too many
exclamation marks are merely tiring.

Just for the record... None of the dead had any affilation to the Auburn
chapters of Humanis Policlub, nor are we aware of any of them having
involvement with other chapters of HP, nor do we believe this was a
racial hit. It smacks of organised crime, and the race of the assassin
and his targets is irrelevant.

Our best wishes to Detective Hart and our condolences to the families
and friends of the dead.]<<<<<
