Riot: the eighth mission

At approximately 0945 today a riot erupted along the Martin Luther King Jr parade route. The officers along the route could not be contacted and everyone in a two block area seemed to be either fighting in the streets or hiding in panic. About thirty minutes later a team from the local branch of the international counter terrorism corporation (ICC) arrived on the scene and entered the area. At 1150 the three bloodied agents emerged and claimed to have calmed the area, though emergency services personnel would be busy all day.
According to their investigations a terrorist cell had acquired a sample of an experimental nerve agent and released it upon the parade route. Apparently this agent caused hallucinations and induced an intense fear response; the varied reactions were a result of different psychological reactions to fear. Some ten percent of those affected become agitated and violent, accounting for the intensity and viciousness of the rioters. The team claimed to have located and subdued the cell. According to their information the effects of the nerve agent were very temporary (still an experimental gas) and generally have a life span of only a couple of hours.
The ICC agents arrested the surviving terrorists and took them to their processing before turning them over to the Atlanta FBI for federal charges. Two terrorists were killed resisting arrest and the remainder received multiple wounds before being subdued.
Besides the terrorists, four people died and over four dozen were hospitalized with injuries ranging from cuts and broken bones to gunshot wounds. Dozens more were treated for minor injuries by on-site first responders.
A commendation of the agents has been sent to the ICC.
