News: Las Vegas
[A mid-afternoon report breaks with the story of four non-lethal shootings happening within hours of each other across the city, with a member of the controversial Murphy family the suspected target of each. The police give few details, citing the investigation as ongoing, but an anonymous source confirmed that the shootings appeared to be warnings, all without the intent to kill. Jude Murphy, son of UK government officials Kenneth and Mariah Murphy, and Clementine Murphy, Kenneth's daughter by another woman, were both out and about when the shootings happened, with bullets striking within inches of each. Chloe Murphy, ex-cult member turned author, however, was not so lucky. There is no consensus on where the exonerated, so-called 'Debutante Dealer' was hit, only that there was blood at the scene and witness statements were being taken. The fourth shot, one officials suspect was intended for Alexander Murphy, struck a window at his workplace, the Murphy-owned Aria hotel. The deviation, though still unexplained, is suspected to be the result of increased police activity in the area from the three prior shootings.]
