Newsflash: Underworld Seige, all blown up

As night falls, the Police are able to speak to Tony Gordon on the Underworld phone.

Roy and Hayley share a moment together safe and sound as reinforcements unload from a Police van.  Carla's boyfriend Trevor arrives on scene to find out what is going on.  More locals fill the street.

Gunshots are fired sending onlookers into a panic.  Trevor breaks free of the bit of police tape encircling the factory and bounds towards it screaming the name of his other half.  At the same time, out of the battered down door, Carla runs like the wind into the arms of her beau.

From my post, outside Gail McIntyre's house (who is currently on trial for murder of her husband), I can see him.  Tony Gordon, escaped convict, murderer.  The madness in his eyes will haunt my dreams for a long time.  His gaze is firmly fixed on his escaped hostage.  His eyes bore down on her for what seems like hours, but really only seconds.  Clutching his left shoulder, due to injury I am guessing, he turns and disappears into the glow of the fire and blanket of smoke.  Just as I am about to try and get to Carla for a statement the factory explodes and we all hit the ground.

Locals are being asked to return to their houses as firefighters arrive to start the clean up.  The fate of Tony Gordon will be announced shortly.....

Newsflash: Underworld Seige, a hostage situation

A telephone call late yesterday afternoon to 999 confirmed that Tony Gordon has, as officials expected, returned to Coronation Street to seek revenge.

Maria Connor, former fiance of Tony Gordon and widow of his victim Liam, has confrims his whereabouts.  Mr Gordon has locked himself in the Underworld Factory, where he was once the CEO, and has taken hostages, named Carla Connor and Hayley Cropper.  Maria confirms that Tony has covered the place in petrol and that there is a dead body on the floor, the identity is unknown.

As the news of this event quickly spread thorough the Rovers Return pub from where the call was made, a group of locals headed towards the factory.  At this point in time Roy Cropper, Hayley's husband, was seen shouting through the door to, we assume, Mr Gordon.

As the sirens of the approaching law enforcement were heard, Becky McDonald of the Rovers Return decided to take matters into her own hands and started smashing the glass of the factory door with, we believe, a bit of wood or possibly a pipe.

Police cordoned off the factory and tried to remove onlookers as the doors opened and Hayley was thrust out onto the cobbles.  At this point it is confirmed Tony was armed with a hand gun.

We will have more as the story unfolds.  All media are now being asked to stay back from the premises due to danger and it was suggested we all regroup at the Kabin and stock up on pear drops and mint imperials as we wait for this to play out.

Newsflash: Gordon still at large

An anonymous telephone call to the Police gave information of Tony Gordon, currently on the loose following his escape from prison, being seen at Manchester Airport.  The caller was unsure of the terminal which meant a number of officers were dispatched to search all three.

This information should have been relayed to our readers earlier however our writer was involved in a vehicle collision while leaving Coronation Street yesterday.  There were no injuries and very little damage.  Local builder Bill Webster admits fault as he backed his truck into her Rover Metro.

Webster was quoted to say "Oh I am sorry luv I just didn't see ya.  Nowt but a prang, I'll get my son to have a look, he works over there at the garage.  I'm fuming I am that Carla Connor just laid us off and was very rude about it.  She's gonna be sorry when we get the next rain fall.  That roof's in a right state.  Mind you she must have been doing something important in that factory.  Didn't want to speak to me and then locked the door.  There's nowt as queer as folk".

Tony Gordon is described as 5ft 9, medium build, brown hair, well groomed with heavy Scottish accent.  The Police are urging anyone who may see or come into contact with the prisoner to call the authorities immediately as Mr Gordon is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Newsflash: Sighting at Number 7

Police were called to Coronation Street following a reported sighting of convicted murderer Tony Gordon.  It was reported at Mr Gordan, 39 of Weatherfield, escaped from prison whilst on route to hospital in an ambulance yesterday.

New tenants of number 7 have reported a man fitting Tony's description hanging around the back alley and when approached claimed to have been mugged and required assistance. Sunita Alahan allowed the man into her home.  Dev Alahan, owner of the corner shop, explained to the Police that the couple had been divorced for the last 5 years and his wife had never met Mr Gordon.  She was aware of what had happened to the owner of the property but did not expect in a million years to find Tony next to her dustbin.  Devinder was on the stag do for Tony Gordon the night Liam Connor was run down.

The Police are planning to stay in the Coronation Street area and inform members of the community who may be on a revenge list namely:
His wife Carla Connor Gordon, who was having an affair with the late Liam
Roy and Hayley Cropper who own Roys Rolls.  Mr Cropper saved Tony's life when he had a real heart attach and on what he thought was his death bed confessed to murder.  Hayley works at Underworld and has done for a number of years.

Police are desperately trying to contact Maria Connor, widow of Liam and former fiance of the convicted felon but there has been no answer on any of her contact numbers in Ireland where she is currently residing.

Newsflash: Have you seen this Man?

A man currently in prison for murder has escaped today.  What was thought to be a medical emergency is now appearing to have been a planned break out by former Underworld CEO Anthony "Tony"  Gordon.  39 year old Gordon, of Weatherfield, has been serving time for the the murder of 34 year old Liam Connor.

Eye witness reports say that the the ambulance carrying Gordon to Weatherfield General was run off the road by an unmarked van and a masked man was seen with a gun.  Both men were then seen making their escape in this van.  Highfield Prison has confirmed that Tony Gordon was being transported to Weatherfield General following a possible heart attack.

Tony Gordon is described as 5ft 9, medium build, brown hair, well groomed with heavy Scottish accent.  The Police are urging anyone who may see or come into contact with the prisoner to call the authorities immediately as Mr Gordon is considered armed and extremely dangerous.  It is vital that anyone living in the Coronation Street area of the city be very cautious as there is high concern that Tony is acting out of revenge.
