Tonight's top story:

Chaos in Al-Sad on Mars this evening as a cargo shipment was ambushed by two masked individuals. Explosions rocked the small atmospheric habitat, causing several breaches. Repairs are currently underway. Several witnesses report that the gunmen attempted to flee with cargo, only to be shot dead by the crew of the cargo van. We interviewed a few residents, who were by and large enraged by the firefight.

"Al-Sad ain't the safest place, but explosion after explosion? Martians know better than this. The crew that got attacked just left the scene with not a care in the damn world, too! They left a dead body in the middle of the hab! I'm inclined to start shooting outsiders on sight. We deserve a home free from these shenanigans!

"One 'o them bullets almost got muh dawg! Henrietta may be the ugliest dang chimera you ever dun did see, but she ain't deserve no dang bullet!"

"All I heard was a bunch of booms 'n bangs, and some guy yellin' about dyin' for the people. I'm movin' out."

At this time, the identities of the gunmen and the cargo crew are unknown. Our team looked for the body that one of the witnesses reported, but were unable to locate it.
