Hello I'm Nicole Batcher and this is Channel 5 News. Our first story tonight a shooting at a car wash on piper street in the red light district this morning. 3 men were killed in a drive-by shooting around 8:02 am this morning by unknown gunmen in a van. In this CCTV footage you can see the van pull up to the curb next to the car wash where 3 known members of the Vice Kingz street gang were cleaning what appears to be a type of lowrider before the van door slides open and opening fire on the unsuspecting gang members before it sped off. The suspects armed with tek-9 and Mac-10 submachine pistols fled north before turning off towards pink st. Police are asking if you have any information regarding this shooting to please contact 555-476-4824, that is 555-ISN-ITCH if you have any information regarding the shooting.

Are guns getting cheaper? And no we don't mean at the stores, a new trend is supposedly taking place in the city among the poorer residents as there have been reports by police from various arrests of both criminals and gangs alike that have been in possession of air pistols that had somehow been converted to take small caliber ammunition. Who are the people making these modifications and how many of these guns are out there? Police say the reasons these new converted air pistols are becoming so popular with criminals is because the guns don't have to be registered at gun stores or dealers and they don't have serial numbers which helps make them untraceable as well as easier to obtain and cheaper than a normal gun. Another factor is the guns can sometimes bypass scanners and detectors in some facilities.

In Entertainment news: we reported last night about the explosion in downtown and the death of rising singer Felicia, tonight a vigil was held for her and the other victims of the bombing. Police detectives are hard at work to uncover the bombs origins and who sent this bomb in the first place, the record studio has announced it will be putting together a memorial box set for Felicia's new album and some unreleased merch.

In traffic: just a couple hours ago there was a major car accident along the interstate leaving multiple cars wrecked so expect traffic delays along the interstate if your traveling out that way.

In weather we have one more day of clear skies before the weekend storm hits and it is expected to clear up by monday.

That's all we have time for tonight, thank you for watching this has been Nicole Batcher reporting for the channel 5 News room

Hello, I'm Nicole Batcher and this is channel 5 news

last night a shooting happened in the parking lot of the TNA strip club in the red light district leading to the deaths of 5 people. 3 of the people who were killed were members of the Vice Kingz gang and the other 2 were members of the 5th street Lords. CCTV caught the encounter, as seen in the footage 4 members of the 5th street Lords were seen exiting the club walking towards the parking lot as a yellow van pulls into the lot and some people can be seen getting out before opening fire killing 2 before the other 2 return fire in an intense gun battle that left patrons and staff inside scrambling for cover as a few of the bullets penatrated the walls, luckily no one inside the club was injured. The remaining 2 suspects can be seen running to their car and speeding away after the shooting.

In other news now that the investigation is wrapping up at the bling bling records, Mr. King stated that reconstruction efforts would be underway to get the music going again. When asked if he was afraid of being attacked again he had this to say:

King: "This is Torn City, if you aren't prepared or afraid of the dangers then you shouldn't run a business here. This is no different than all the turf wars that have been happening for years."

In Sports the stadium being built is being done rather quickly as it is already reaching the quarter point within 2 weeks or so since the start of the project.

For weather I hand it over to Craig

Craig: Thanks Nicole, tomorrow we're looking at a high of 77°F and a low of 54°F with 10% precipitation, 74% Humidity and a wind speed of 7 mph. It will be mostly cloudy, back to you Nicole

Nicole: Thank you Craig, our next segment earlier today a taxi had left the airport with 2 passengers in tow when halfway to their destination a yellow sedan stops in front of the cab and orders the driver to stay at gunpoint before turning their attention to the 2 girls in the passenger seats kidnapping them from the cab and fleeing the scene. The 2 ladies are confirmed to be tourists from England visiting Torn after a trip to Brazil, the kidnappers seen wearing yellow and are suspected of being members of either the Vice Kingz or the ERC Crew (a sub group of the Vice Kingz). These photos are still frames from a CCTV camera which caught the whole ordeal on tape. The police are urging if anyone has information on the suspects or the girls whereabouts, they are encouraged to call 555-476-4724/555-ISN-ITCH.

Welcome to channel 5 News, im Nicole Batcher and thanks for tuning in. In yesterday's news there was an incident at City Hall when a representative was killed in a bathroom stall, representative Tom Shafter was found dead yesterday in a bathroom stall in City Hall after suffering multiple stab wounds to the abdomen and chest. Shafter who was the subject of multiple rumors of being a corrupt official with ties to organized crime was also being investigated last year for his connections but later the investigation was dropped after a lack of evidence after 2 weeks into the investigation with lead investigator Mike Lowdry saying: "This investigation has yielded no results in the past 2 weeks and it is in my belief that continuation of such an investigation would be a waste of city and police resources". Now many are wanting the investigation to be reopened after the murder that took place yesterday. In other news, 2 drug labs in the industrial and barrio districts were destroyed yesterday after they exploded in an inferno, police looking into the matter havent released many details other than they suspect possible arson. The buildings the labs were in were both being used by Los Hijos gang where meth and heroin were both being manufactured inside prior to the fires. Who committed the arsons has yet to be identified, it has been a known fact that Los Hijos have rumored connections to a Columbian drug cartel but those rumors have yet to shed any truth but we will keep you posted as this story develops.

In Entertainment news: A new horror movie called "The Manor of Evil" is set to premiere in theaters across Torn City on Oct 30th. This movie is set to break last year's box office sales by 13% compared to "Return of the MerMan" last year.

In Education: Does the Schools need more funding? That is a potential topic for city representatives after petitions have come in to give some of the Cities funding to the education sector to be able to afford new books and classroom equipment.

Today's weather is going to be a high of 89°F and a low of 62°F

That's the news for yesterday and more tonight, this has been channel 5 news with your host Nicole Batcher.

Now for the sports: An ad plays for the new stadium just on the outskirts of the city urging viewers to purchase tickets for the upcoming game

That sounds wonderful and now time for the weather, Craig?

Craig: yes it does, its expected to be first of many games to come. For weather tomorrow is going to be a high of 64°F and a low of 45°F with a precipitation of 0%, wind gusts up to 10 mph and a humidity of 57% back to you.

Nicole: thanks Craig now to politics: Alderman Marshall Hughes was campaigning today in Downtown as he laid out his plans if he were to be elected as Mayor

A video plays

Hughes: If I am elected as mayor, I vow to do everything within my power to curb the crime in our city and I plan to do this while also investing city funds into expanding programs to help people get on their feet in this city without resorting to crime. I also plan on making universal plans to provide free rehab for many of Torn's citizens to help curb the drug problem in our city, a responsibility of the city. My devotion is to the city and to the people of Torn.

Nicole: we also got an interview with Alderman Armstrong who had this to say

interview footage plays

Gibson: So what are some of your other ideas if you were to be elected Mayor Mr. Armstrong?

Armstrong: Well, what i think this city needs isn't coddling, this is Torn City after all the people of this City are tough. Built to weather any storm that hits this city but I do acknowledge we have problems such as rising gang violence and the drug crisis along with just regular crime and overcrowding prison capacity issues. So as far as development goes I seek to build another prison to address the capacity issue and as for drugs I say we invest in more anti-drug measures within our police departments, we need to wage a war on drugs. That means harsher sentences for drug possession and manufacturing, I dont believe Rehab is going to solve this problem. And for gang violence and overall crime, we need a stronger police force as in we need to hire more cops, equip them with better gear such as military weapons and they need to be able to crackdown on these criminals, these thugs that hold our city hostage while the average person is just trying to get by.

Gibson: And how do you feel about your main opponents stance on this?

Armstrong: He doesn't understand what this city truly needs, he thinks if we coddle these criminals then that will magically fix the issues meanwhile raising our taxes to pay for these programs which just seem doomed to fail from the start. We need to deal with these issues with a firm hand.

Nicole: when we interviewed Hughes after his campaign, he had this to say

Footage of the interview plays

Payton: So what else can you tell viewers at home about your policies?

Hughes: well its like this,  if we want people to stop committing crimes we need to offer essential services and social programs

Payton: And how do you feel about your Main opponent Armstrong and how he plans to tackle these issues?

Hughes: I think he doesnt really have the best intentions for the city and its people as his policies are just expanding a temporary solution but it doesnt really address the underlying problems to these issues and is a narrow way of looking at it. His main solution seems to be just arresting more people and turning our city into a police state and just building more prisons when one fills up. I dont know about you but to me that doesnt seem like a solution, just a bandaid on a bigger issue. And I have heard he plans to add forced labor for inmates in what he called a work release program, who does that really benefit? Society or the companies who put their manufacturing inside those prisons? 

Peña: Thats all we have time for tonight, this has been the news with Channel 5 News im Ryan Peña

Nicole: And im Nicole Batcher, goodnight Torn City

Frightened female shopper: I dont know, i was so scared i just ran back inside the store and me and the employees and other customers ran to the back while the manager called the police. I think i heard a bullet whiz past me when it shattered the window in the front of the store. 

footage ends

Kylee: so far the police arent giving us many details as it is still an open investigation but one thing is for certain, people are concerned for the uptick in violence the past month has brought. Back to you Nicole.

Hello and welcome to channel 5, im Nicole Batcher. Last night, a car chase happened with a bit of shooting but reports say no one was shot or injured in the attack. The shooters were unknown but CCTV footage caught the vehicles in question on camera and the police are encouraging to call in with any information on the cars or their owners.

 the number is [phone number removed] or 555-ISN-ITCH.

Earlier today there was a shooting down at the port between the 5th street Lords and Los Hijos in which the 5th street Lords can be seen fleeing the area in a box truck and a pickup truck being chased by Los hijos members with an untold number of fatalities. Port authorities have stated they are unsure of what sparked this shooting but police say it may be involved in a illegal smuggling ring since it's contents weren't registered with port authorities. Police Chief Hoffman stated that they suspect this as it ties into a case being worked on within the PD, while unable to talk about the details of the operation that it indicates a vast smuggling network in Torn.

In Entertainment news, a man was beaten in the Eastside by a supposed member of the DeCarver Label but Mr DeCarver says that the incident was wildly exaggerated and that the man making the claims is a crooked promoter who was extorting one of the labels artists. The man refused to comment when our reporters returned to ask about it.

In business, a new Strip Club has opened called the Pink Kitty, with its opening brings more jobs and is expected to put some other clubs into the ground but others say that said clubs would go bankrupt regardless of the new clubs opening or not.

In Politics Alderman Jack Armstrong held a press conference today to talk about the possibility of an election and what his odds were of him getting enough votes to be mayor he simply had this to say 

Armstrong: I would think once people see and understand what I would accomplish if I were to be elected then they would surely vote for me

In Economic news, BerryCom has secured a extension in Torn City to expand CCTV coverage across the city. The Torn City council voted to okay the extension to their existing contract signed back in 2015 with many saying the surge in crime, gang/faction violence and turf wars being the deciding factor in the decision. Many critics however say this could be the start of a police state of Torn City and are starting a petition to get City Hall to retract their decision for the extension but many who are in support of the contract say that BerryCom would be expanding business to the City adding hundreds of jobs to Torn from security to IT which could be a boon to the local economy.

Hello I'm Nicole Batcher and this is Channel 5 News. Our first story tonight a shooting at a car wash on piper street in the red light district this morning. 3 men were killed in a drive-by shooting around 8:02 am this morning by unknown gunmen in a van. In this CCTV footage you can see the van pull up to the curb next to the car wash where 3 known members of the Vice Kingz street gang were cleaning what appears to be a type of lowrider before the van door slides open and opening fire on the unsuspecting gang members before it sped off. The suspects armed with tek-9 and Mac-10 submachine pistols fled north before turning off towards pink st. Police are asking if you have any information regarding this shooting to please contact 555-476-4824, that is 555-ISN-ITCH if you have any information regarding the shooting.

Are guns getting cheaper? And no we don't mean at the stores, a new trend is supposedly taking place in the city among the poorer residents as there have been reports by police from various arrests of both criminals and gangs alike that have been in possession of air pistols that had somehow been converted to take small caliber ammunition. Who are the people making these modifications and how many of these guns are out there? Police say the reasons these new converted air pistols are becoming so popular with criminals is because the guns don't have to be registered at gun stores or dealers and they don't have serial numbers which helps make them untraceable as well as easier to obtain and cheaper than a normal gun. Another factor is the guns can sometimes bypass scanners and detectors in some facilities.

In Entertainment news: we reported last night about the explosion in downtown and the death of rising singer Felicia, tonight a vigil was held for her and the other victims of the bombing. Police detectives are hard at work to uncover the bombs origins and who sent this bomb in the first place, the record studio has announced it will be putting together a memorial box set for Felicia's new album and some unreleased merch.

In traffic: just a couple hours ago there was a major car accident along the interstate leaving multiple cars wrecked so expect traffic delays along the interstate if your traveling out that way.

In weather we have one more day of clear skies before the weekend storm hits and it is expected to clear up by monday.

Welcome to channel 5 News, this is Nicole Batcher 

Today an Explosion triggered by a car bomb in the downtown business center caused extensive structural damage to the Bling Bling Records building today. 16 people were killed with 22 hospitalized, among the casualties was rising singer Felicia who was in the studio on the second floor just above the detonation zone before the blast. Bling Bling Records has declined comment but it has been long suspected of being a front for the Vice Kingz street gang as a handful of artists have known ties to the gang however it is unclear at this time whether this was a case of gang violence or a terrorist attack. Many will mourn the passing of Felicia and the staff who lost their lives in the explosion, a sigil will be held tomorrow night at 8 pm.

In other news, in a warehouse in the red light district 4 Vice Kingz members were found dead and in a back room showing signs of holding captives. Are the Vice Kingz responsible for some of the recent disappearances that have plagued the City lately.

There was also a shootout between members of the ERC Crew and unknown assailants wearing suits at a set of apartment flats in the ERC district by the bridge leading to the financial center. 24 people were killed in the shooting, 12 assailants and 3 ERC Crew members and 9 civilians.

Nicole: Thanks Craig, in sports a land clearing and construction site is being over an old auditorium building which many are saying is being fitted to be a new sports stadium which has many sports fans excited. Details have yet to be shared about the project

That has been the news for this evening, I'm Nicole Batcher and I'll see you tomorrow night Torn

*News outro plays before going to commercial*

If Torn was to build a sports stadium, what would it be called or name would you give it?

I like gaming, hanging out with friends, shopping if I can, music in general, guitar (still learning if I can control my ADHD), cooking, gardening
