Explosion in Shin Akiba
by Amita Quita
SHIN AKIBA, ZAKERA WARD- An explosion followed by a foot chase that culminated in a brief hostage standoff rocked the peace of the Shin Akiba business district. The explosion of as of yet unknown origin destroyed a small apartment above the Wonders of Sol music store. Witnesses saw what they described as a middle aged human escape the blast and was chased on foot by C-Sec officers. The chase ended in a brief armed standoff near one of the district's many shuttle terminals. The standoff ended with the swift intervention of an unnamed Alliance officer and a human biotic. C-Sec then secured the scene and transported the suspect to the local C-Sec precinct for booking.
Sources close to the investigation told ANN that the suspect is connected to the attempt on Commander Thompson-Ramos a week ago in the Presidium. Doctors report that the commander made a full recovery and is now back on active duty.
This report was filed by Amita Quita from the ANN News Desk on the Citadel.
