Jamaican Gang Embroiled in War

(IIN) — Shocking violence has rocked several districts of the city, including Tacoma and Downtown, as members of the Kingston Royals Jamaican posse were killed. The chain of events, as determined by Knight Errant, are as follows.

The Kingston Royals initiated two home invasions in separate Tacoma neighborhoods resulting in the deaths of numerous posse members. At one of the homes, the residents heard the posse coming in when they shot out the front window. The residents, renting for the past three weeks, were here for deer hunting and had shotguns in the home. Despite possessing automatic weapons, the posse members were caught off guard by the heavily armed hunters. The shotguns caused substantial mutilation of the bodies.

An explosion destroyed the front facade of a Tacoma row house about an hour later. The house was apparently utilized by the Kingston Royals, and several of the gang members were killed in the explosion. The identities of their assailants are unknown at this time.

"At this time, Knight Errant has no suspects in this attack. The crime scene has lots of potential evidence but will take quite some time to process. The front of the house was hit with some kind of explosive, perhaps a grenade or improvised device. Piecing all this together won't happen overnight," says Detective Marty Snerd of Knight Errant.

A few hours before dawn, warehouse 173 Downtown, another Kingston Royals front, was attacked. Knight Errant responded within a few minutes of reported explosions and gunfire; however, the fight was over when they arrived.

Detective Kylie Lain says, "The warehouse shows significant evidence of a powerful explosion. Shell casings collected indicate a quick, but very violent, firefight. When officers arrived, there were no survivors on the premise."

The Kingston Royals are a relatively new arrival in the Seattle underworld. Some KE officers made comments this could be a gang or turf war with one of the other established criminal organizations within the city. Incidents such as these help arguments from Governor Brackhaven to increase the number of Knight Errant employees active in the city.
