L.A. Alert!

Reports of shots fired at the Nakatomi Plaza in downtown L.A.

Rumors are that an LAPD officer, Sgt Al Powell, is in contact with an inside source keeping tabs of the terrorists. They appear to be German from accents on radio comms.

Yippie ki yay. This will be intense.

Police, SWAT, and FBI are surrounding Nakatomi Plaza at this hour after a police officer was reportedly fired upon. The police officer had stopped by the building after receiving what was initially reported as a false fire alarm on the 32nd floor.
