DAMAGE IN BIRMINGHAM

After a recent incident in Birmingham many thought that the gangs would be on the back foot and seeking to stay out of the papers but that was not the case at all as yesterday a battle blew up on the streets leaving four people dead and several in hospital.
The violence started quickly on an estate between two gangs as a fist fight turned into a gun fight when the gangs exchanged semi automatic fire at close quarters. Two were killed on the scene within the first few minutes of the battle but it continued on for more than twenty minutes as the two sides fought their way through the streets, killing a young mother of two who was caught in their bloody crossfire.
Its believed that the carnage would have been far greater if not for the intervention of a costumed hero who felled three of the gunmen in a local warehouse.
As well as the weapons and gang members caught on the scene a consignment of the lethal drug 'damage' was also secured by the police thanks to the efforts of their local hero, who has been identified as a hero active in the area for sometime called 'Gamma'.
'The reality is that this situation went from bad to worse so quickly that the local constabulary simply couldn't contain it. Without the intervention of this 'Gamma' then the casualties would have been far higher and the perpetrators would most likely still be at large. We have to thank this man that has stepped in and risked his life to stop a group of bloodthirsty lunatics from rampaging through our city,' said Chief of Police Indapow Singh. 'We have been fighting this problem for sometime without the arrests and ground that we have needed to take from these lawless thugs. With Gamma's help we hope we can make real inroads into this problem and restore order to our streets.'
