 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM


Reports reaching Government is that the appearance of armed masked men in Sienna buses this morning in parts of Onitsha caused some panic among the people.


Truth of the matter is that those they saw were men of  the Anambra State Vigilante Group (AVG).


Following the mild tension and anxiety among the people, Government directed the Department of State Security (DSS) and the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha to join in strengthening the patrol.


Normalcy has since returned to the commercial city. Offices and shops have since reopened.


However, a few miscreants that tried to test the resolve of Government to protect lives and property of its people have been arrested by our security agents and they're presently providing useful information.


Reports from Local Government Chairmen in other parts of the State reveal that people are going about their normal businesses while their local AVGs and Joint Task Forces are on red alert. 


Anambra State Government is therefore calling on Ndi Anambra to go about their legitimate businesses without fear.


The attached videos and photos attest to the normalcy in Onitsha and other parts of the State.


There is no cause for alarm. 


Signed 

*SIR PAUL NWOSU*
