[edit] Blood Bath overnight in the Southland

by Charles Portman, Staff Writer

Police respond to a desperate nine one one call in the three o'clock hour this morning to the 900 block of west palmer and willowbrook in Compton. When police arrived they found two dead in the street in front of the house, then one more on the lawn of the house. Inside they found what one police officer comment as being the worst blood bath he's ever seen. In total, ten people were found dead, several younger then fifteen. Police are still looking for motive into why this event took place and assume the person who did this is still at large.
