SHORE CITY - A mysterious shrouded figure known only as the Scarlet Hood is wanted by Shore City police for questioning in the execution style death of two gangland thugs in Old Town yesterday evening.Witnesses say that the scarlet clad vigilante chased the two gun wielding thugs down an alley before preceding to beat them bloody with a wooden staff. After a tense exchange, the Scarlet Hood was heard to say "…the Scarlet Hood has passed judgement and you are found guilty." He then pulled out a pistol and shot dead the two thugs.

Police are having trouble tracking down leads due to the tight-lipped nature of the neighborhood.
"We can't have these vigilantes taking the law into their own hands," says precinct captain Alister McCrosky. "Let the police do their work. We don't need no help from a bunch of masked lawbreakers. If you ask me, they should all be outlawed."Police are asking that if you have any information about the mysterious Scarlet Hood to please pass the information along to the Old Town Precinct.
