X-Man Shot In San Fransisco City Centre

The Yob

San Fransisco city centre was the scene of a shock attack against X-Man and Ex New Crusader Yob that has left the mutant hero struggling for life on the island of Utopia.

According to eye witnesses three men broke from a crowd while the Scouser was shopping for the island supplies division. He was hit first with a high tech looking pistol that encased him in energy and left him obviously disoriented, then as he tried to gather his senses he was shot multiple times in the chest. As soon as the shots were fired the assailants made their escape into the crowd and remain at large.

Instead of Shrugging off the bullets as he would normally do he fell to the floor and immediately started to bleed and pass in an out of consciousness. He was rescued by several fellow X-Men that were nearby, rushed to Utopia where it is believed he underwent immediate surgery.

As the reports were released it became immediately clear that Yob was almost certainly hit with a power nullifying weapon prior to the bullets that were fired and that this was a serious attempt on his life. No further attacks were reported and so it is clear that The Yob was their primary and only target.

Another act by mutant hating psychopaths or a more sinister strike on an ex New Crusader with a foot in two camps? As we await further details we can but send our thoughts and prayers too the only good thing to come out of Liverpool in many years.
