- Marcus DuBois - 04-07-2015

Chaos reigned at Izmailovsky Market yesterday as what appears to be a terrorist attack was carried out during the mid-morning rush. Two people are dead while more than a dozen, including a 7 year old boy, were injured when a man, identified as Sebastian Volodin, opened fire on shoppers in the market. According to police records, Volodin had been arrested numerous times, though mostly in connection with mob related activities.

The motive is unclear, but sources close to the investigation say that the attack may have been a preemptive strike on a new department in the CCDPD. What makes this attack all more the startling is the fact that, according to video captured by onlookers, Volodin appears to be using some sort of unknown energy weapon.

What you're seeing here honestly seems to defy explanation. The images call to mind those months earlier recorded in Jeddah, DV. In view of the press release given at that time, this new attack raises questions regarding the appearance of people with special abilities. Repeated inquiries from the Consulate of Communications have not been answered, though one source has admitted that the Executive Office of the Ascendancy took very seriously the possible threat people like this could pose, should the stories turn out to be true.

Lending credence to this and to the current belief that this was a preemptive terrorist strike is the fact that the attack appeared to be focused on Sargent Ivan Sarkozy, an officer in the CCDPD. A native Muscovite, Sarkozy recently was transferred to the newly formed Domovoi division of the CCDPD. While Domovoi officially appears to be a special response team for terrorist attacks, there are indications that its focus is specifically geared toward the danger that people with special abilities might pose. The unnamed source in the Consulate of Communcitions has stated 'the EOA is committed to the safety of people across all Dominances no matter how unlikely and that Domovoi is just one of many means the Ascendancy is using.'

Volodin's whereabouts are currently unknown, though all forms of surveillance are being used to find him. He is known to be an associate of the Mordvinov family, a group that has lately been under increasing scrutiny by police for money laundering, racketeering, and other activities associated with organized crime. The connection to terrorism is a new development, though, ensuring they will come under still more attention.

Sarkozy and the other injured were taken to the hospital and we have yet to receive word on their condition. If you see Vololdin, please contact the CCDPD at the number below. The CCDPD emphasize the extreme danger the man poses, however, so please take all necessary precautions.
