Crime Information
Terrorists have stormed the live broadcast of the afternoon talk show, Donna!. At the start of the siege, many members of the studio audience, along with show employees, either escaped or were released. The exact number of hostages being held is unclear, as many people fled the scene and have not been accounted for.
Additional Information
The terrorists believe their demands are being broadcast live. However, studio employees have been able to cut the live feed and are merely broadcasting within the studio on a closed-circuit. Tapping into the closed-circuit feed, SWAT has learned that the suspects are heavily armed and in full body armor.
Suspect Information
The terrorists have identified themselves as members of the People's Liberation Party. Members are known to be brutally violent and willing to die for their cause; the reunification of the Soviet Union and the return to communism. The PLP is believed to be behind the 2002 Wall Street bombings which killed 300 people, injuring hundreds more.
Head count on suspects is six, though there could be more out of camera range. Suspects are in full tac gear; body armor and armed with AK47's and Skorpions.
