Hale's Moon Mayor Attacked

Claiming to be "delivering a message," an off world visitor entered the Mayor's office and fired one round at the Mayor who promptly returned fire. The Mayor was unharmed in the attack, and the assailant is currently under guard in the Infirmary with a gunshot wound to the chest. Their condition is listed as Critical and Infirmary officials have not given word on their patient's prognosis for survival.

The Sheriff's office has not released any details on the attack, however they are investigating the incident with their usual efficiency. When asked about what 'message', the Mayor replied "Not at liberty to discuss it right now, but will say folks seem to forget I don't carry a sidearm for show."

Anyone with further information is encouraged to talk to local officials. Their anonymity is guaranteed.
