Los Sueños – LSPD Official Statement: October 27th, 10:12am PDT

At approx. 0800 hours this morning a critical situation occurred on offshore oil rig “HeavyWell A-101″ and was responded to via tactical response by LSPD SWAT. The “United Peoples Front,” designated by the US Government as a terror group, claimed responsibility for this hostage incident. The situation is still ongoing, further investigation and situation reports are under the jurisdiction of FISA. The events on the offshore oil rig come shortly after the failed assassination attempt of newly elected governor Whitfield. The LSPD is still working closely with the Highway Patrol, Protective Services, and Federal Officials to ensure Governor Whitfield’s safety following the failed assassination attempt during a political event at LSPD HQ last month. New LSPD maritime capabilities, in cooperation with the Los Sueños C.O.A.S.T. (California Offshore Air and Sea Team), facilitated a rapid response to the hostage incident on HeavyWell A-101. A UH-60 helicopter is now allocated for rapid response and reconnaissance with our SWAT teams.
