19 year-old Brandon Kyle still does not understand why he is in police custody. Brandon and several of his friends attended a live action role playing event in a local park yesterday. It is unclear at this time how they acquired it, but the boys ingested several doses of LSD each on their way to the event. Hundreds were in attendance dressed in full regalia to play the popular Demons and Wizards role playing game. Weapons are commonplace here, but non-lethal/harmful… Think pool-noodle wrapped in duct tape or foam swords and lances…
At some point Brandon got separated from his friends, broke the boundaries of the event, weaponized part of a broken park bench, and savagely attacked several non-participants. The teenage assailant believes he defeated 3 Orks and slayed a dragon when in reality the attack left two joggers and a dog-walker hospitalized and a Great Dane in need of veterinary care with superficial stab wounds.
Fortunately, nobody was killed in the attack when it occurred. Kyle’s arraignment is scheduled for Monday.
