December 1st, 2018 @1005 hours.

At approximately 2100 hours last night on the 30th of November, 2018 the Los Santos Police Department were called to a gas station robbery at Strawberry Avenue gas station. Upon arriving on the scene a newly appointed and attested Cadet was gunned down and murdered by 3 heavily armed men. Before being killed in the line of duty the cadet, who will remain unnamed for his families privacy, bravely pressed his panic alarm and sent a notification to all officers that he was in distress. Many officers including those of the Special Weapons and Tactics as well as the Investigations Bureau fled to the officers aid.

Upon arriving at the scene many officers noticed a black Contender speeding off with 4 occupants inside the vehicle. Upon trying to pull the vehicle over, the driver announced that they had a hostage. The hostage, a middle aged married woman name Lora Scofield had been taken captive by the men. She could be heard screaming from inside the vehicle. The Los Santos Police were demanded to back off and had no choice but to comply.
With the quick thinking of the Special Weapon's and Tactics command, Lieutenant Liam Paige he confirmed that a LSPD helicopter was in the air watching the scene. With the Air Support Divisions best pilot, Police Officer III Cynthia Shelby, Lieutenant Paige ordered all units to back away.

The Contender fled the scene and could be seen from above ramming vehicles and driving recklessly on the side walks of the street of Los Santos. With this, the heavily trained SWAT operatives and Investigations Investigator moved in abruptly to be met with gun shots to their vehicles. Under Paige's command and watch they performed neutralizing maneuvers that stopped the Contender. The men quickly leaped from the vehicle and began to shoot at the responding officers. All were taken down.


Conclusion:
At approximately 2130 hours the Los Santos Police had apprehended 3 suspects from the hostage situation and rescued 1 woman from the chaos.
  • Drake Hudson - Arrested and charged at Bolingbroke Penitentiary
  • Mark Falcone - Died on scene due to fatal gunshots.
  • Biantic Eianaro - Arrested and charged at Bolingbroke Penitentiary
  • Lora Scofield - Rescued and brought to Pillbox Medical Centre for treatment.
