Blackwood County – Chaos erupted on the outskirts of Blackwood County late last night as notorious enforcer, Silas “Hatch” Hatch, launched a devastating ambush on the Crimson Dragons motorcycle club’s staging area. Initial reports indicate a coordinated assault utilizing a heavily modified chainsaw, resulting in significant casualties and widespread property damage.

The incident occurred around 11:47 PM local time near the abandoned Blackwood Mill. Witnesses describe Hatch, a former Crimson Dragons lieutenant who reportedly fell out of favor with club leader “Razor” Rayburn, appearing seemingly out of nowhere in a heavily armored SUV. According to preliminary investigations, Hatch bypassed the club’s perimeter security with surprising ease, reportedly disabling the automated gate system before unleashing a brutal attack.

“It was… brutal,” recounted local mechanic, Dale “Sparky” Peterson, who was working late at a nearby garage. “I heard this roaring, and then… well, the mill started shaking. I looked out and saw Hatch just… tearing through the front wall with that chainsaw. He didn’t even seem to hesitate.”

The Crimson Dragons, known for their aggressive tactics and significant presence in the Blackwood County underworld, were caught completely off guard. At least five members are confirmed dead, with several others sustaining critical injuries. Razor Rayburn himself is currently unaccountable, prompting speculation that he may have been the target of the attack.

Law enforcement, led by Sheriff Brody, has established a tight perimeter around the mill and is actively pursuing Hatch. A statewide manhunt has been issued, with authorities describing Hatch as armed and extremely dangerous. “We’re treating this as a calculated act of violence,” Sheriff Brody stated during a press conference this morning. “Hatch clearly had a motive and the means to carry out this attack. We will bring him to justice.”

The fallout from the ambush is already sending ripples through Blackwood County’s criminal landscape. Rival gangs are reportedly assessing the situation, and the potential for further violence is high. Analysts predict this event will significantly destabilize the established power dynamics within the region. The investigation is ongoing, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
