New Year, New Nonsense

On Friday night, the Governor hosted a New Year’s party at the Vineyard in the Tongva Hills.

The celebration was well attended and featured a beautiful fireworks display that began at the stroke of midnight. Friends were seen toasting and cheering, couples kissing, and joy was felt amongst the crowd. One gentleman, Dr. Lorren Anders, took the scenic opportunity to propose to his lovely girlfriend, Brianna McKnight. “It was quite adorable,” Brianna told Weazel News, “I wasn’t expecting it.” Dr. Anders told reporters that he had been planning the proposal for quite some time. “I think she thought I was going to do it over the holidays, but I decided to go with New Year’s”. We wish the happy couple the best.

Despite there being murmurs of a gerbil being turned loose, the majority of the event was very calm. In a statement to Weazel News, Merryweather Security Services’ Eva Byrne said “It went very smoothly, the government put on a great event. We had a very multifaceted turnout, with very little issues on our end. It was a good event all around.”

After most folks had gone home, gunshots were heard out front of the venue. Eyewitnesses at the scene stated that Schmidt Huxley had attempted to steal a police officer’s motorcycle and got into a verbal argument with him. When things became violent, the officer fired shots at Huxley and he was hit a total of seven times. Huxley was rushed to Mount Zonah for medical treatment, and appears to have made a full recovery. MRPD was unable to comment due to this being an active investigation.
