                                                            Excerpt from local newspaper

Joseph Montoya was arrested last night and is being tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her new husband. Police recieved a tip from an unknown woman that a shooting had occurred in a mansion on Greenwood Avenue. Police arrived on the scene to find Mr. Montoya with a firearm in his possession and the cadavers of his ex-wife and her husand only feet away. The motives of this murder was pretty clear. Joseph Montoya is expected to recieve a life sentence with no parole, since evidence was as clear as it gets that this was intentional and a bloodthirsty crime. A neighbor of the victims tells of her experiece that night.

"I had a bad dream and woke up in the night. I rose from my bed to use the restroom and get a glass of water, when out of the silence, I hear two gunshots. It is silent for about 30 seconds, then four more gunshots go off. I sit in the kitchen in silence, terrified. I wait until I hear sirens, then slowly start to make my way towards the window. I see police, everywhere. Surrounding the mansion. I watch until I see them drag a man out of the mansion. He looked crazy. He kept yelling, "Come back, you promised!" I watched them drag him into the cruiser and drive away. Minutes later, an ambulance and medical teams made their way in. About that point, I made my way back to bed. I finally managed to fall asleep about an hour later."
