Gang War in Puyallup, 14 Dead

(IIN) — Gang warfare has boiled over in Puyallup, with brutal assaults on the Asian Young Bloods (AYB) gang.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. last night, an unknown group attacked a suspected drug house run by the AYB, killing six AYB gang members. At around 9:20 p.m., another suspected drug house also run by the AYB was attacked, with five AYB gang members killed. Finally, at approximately 11:30 p.m., three more men were killed at an AYB brothel.

At the first location, the assailants crashed through the backdoor and exchanged gunfire with those within. The lock on the door at the second drug house was shot out and several men killed with automatic explosive weapons fire.

"The brutality of these attacks is extreme. The assailants decapitated the bodies after gunning the men down, when there was enough of the body remaining to decapitate. We have not recovered any drugs or firearms from the residences, so we believe robbery may have some impact on the motive," says Detective Samantha Spears of Knight Errant.

There was no damage to nearby property, nor were there any other reported injuries in the area. Neighbors state they kept their heads down during the fray.

"It was so loud with machinegun fire, and then it was dead quiet. It was over, just like that. I stayed on the floor for a little while expecting more (shots) but they never came. They killed those dudes quick. I don't even think they knew what hit them," relates Angelo Fognetti, a construction worker who lives three houses down the block from the first location.

Detective Spears says, "There were gang signs left all over the walls, so we are investigating that angle."

Three gang members were shot down inside an apartment allegedly used in prostitution. None of the women were harmed, but the gang members were killed with automatic explosive weapons.

"We heard shots at the back (of the apartment), and then the front door came open and a drone came in. It started shooting down the hallway, and this strange flickering man with a bow was firing over top of it," relates one of the women calling herself Candy.

"Knight Errant is still investigating the cause of this violence, but we did not recover any drugs or weapons from any of the three locations. This could be some kind of criminal turf war. We were fortunate that the violence was contained so well," says Detective Spears.

Notorious ganger, Eddie Pang, is rumored to have been gunned down at one of the locations. Pang has an extensive criminal record and is suspected to be the leader of the AYB gang.

Criminal gangs are active in all districts of the city and have long been regarded as as serious threat to public safety.
