Edmund Attacked

SHOPKEEPER ATTACKED BY SNIPER
By Cindy Donovinh

Reports have surfaced that Edmund, proprietor of the H.R. Wesley boutique in Durem, has been attacked in his home by an unknown gunman. Evidence suggests that Edmund escaped unharmed after the attack; no blood was found on the scene, and witnesses report seeing a man matching Edmund's description headed toward the Gambino Mansion. Sources close to the situation suggest that this attack may have been carried out by the same sniper who shot both Johnny K. Gambino and shopkeeper Ian in recent years.

It is unknown whether this attack is related to Edmund's recent pleas for help in what he described as a life-or-death matter; recently, he solicited Gaians for help in gathering garlic and rare black orchids from local shops. His intended use for these items is unclear. It may be no coincidence that the Von Helson sisters, long thought to have been killed in the collapse of the Tower of Gambino, resurfaced at the same time and began asking for monetary donations to rebuild their empire. Tensions between the Von Helsons and Johnny Gambino (a close friend of Edmund's) have been boiling for several years.
