Hills County, TX – Law enforcement and emergency services are currently on scene following a violent incident that resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries in the remote rural area of Hills County. Initial reports indicate a large group of individuals were ambushed late last night, with authorities confirming a substantial number of casualties. The circumstances surrounding the event remain unclear, but preliminary investigations suggest a deliberate act of violence.

The incident unfolded near a dilapidated farmhouse, identified as belonging to the Sawyer family, a family with a long and troubled history in the region. Witnesses report hearing sporadic gunfire and screams emanating from the property before a large vehicle, described as a heavily modified black pickup truck, sped away from the scene. Sheriff Brody, speaking at a press conference this morning, confirmed that the vehicle was last seen heading west on Highway 71.

“We’re dealing with a horrific situation here,” Sheriff Brody stated. “The scene is…difficult to describe. There’s a significant amount of carnage. We’ve secured the perimeter and are working to identify the victims and ascertain the full extent of the tragedy.”

Crucially, a young woman, identified as Chrissie, was ejected from the vehicle shortly before it departed. Authorities believe she was forcibly removed and left approximately a mile from the farmhouse. She is currently receiving medical attention at Hills County Memorial Hospital. “She’s in shock, understandably,” stated a hospital spokesperson. “She’s barely coherent, but she managed to mutter something about ‘the noise’ and ‘the mask.’”

Perhaps most disturbingly, evidence suggests that the vehicle’s occupants, now believed to be a single male individual known only as “Leatherface,” engaged in the systematic dismemberment and assembly of the deceased. Local farmer Jedediah Miller, who lives adjacent to the Sawyer property, reported hearing a series of chilling noises throughout the night. “It sounded like… like someone was working with metal,” Miller said, visibly shaken. “And then, a terrible, sickening thud. I didn’t want to look, but I knew something awful was happening.”

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities focusing on identifying the perpetrators and determining their motives. The discovery of the partially assembled, gruesome creations – described by one responding officer as “macabre displays” – has heightened concerns about the potential for further violence. The Hills County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
