East Vauxhall Shootout 2011

Immediate aftermath of the shootout

The **East Vauxhall Shootout** was a violent mass shooting, which took place over the month of July 2011, in East Vauxhall, Greater Hamford in Portsey. It was a failed attempt by the Brickton based Jones Gang at assasinating the Head of Government at the time, Jacob Turner and his family.

It was widely criticized at the time that Jacob and his family has no security protection at the time, and the Jones Gang faced severe public outrage for targetting children in the shootout.

## Prior to the shootings

Just a week before the shootout, Jacob's house was burgled by reportedly 2 members of the Jones Gang. As they entered his children's room, there was loud screaming, which alerted Jacob to immediately call the police. They arrived shortly after and shot dead both men. After this, Jacob was falsely accused of shooting the 2 criminals himself, which led to further action being taken.

## Stalking of the Turner's

Two days before the shootings, an unmarked white Kz cv-100 van, with tinted windows, was seen driving around the HERDE store in Vauxhall, where Jacob was working, and those inside were looking in the store. Later, it started driving around East Vauxhall, and later parking close to HERDE once again. Jacob reportedly saw it parked outside his house the following day, which led to him taking his family away from the area for a few days. However, once he returned the van was still parked there.

## Shootout

According to police reports. Jacob was awoken late at night to continuous ringing of his doorbell. Due to the ongoing security threat, Jacob carried a pistol on him out of precaution. Upon answering the door, two men from the Jones Gang asked "is this the home of Jacob Turner", to which he said yes. Immediately after responding, a gun was aimed at Jacob's face. Laura Turner, wife of Jacob was secretly watching from the stairs, and called the police, whilst Jacob was aiming his pistol at the gang members, and engaging in a heated confrontation.

An armed police unit from Vauxhall responded within a minute, and a shootout occurred, injuring the two first responding officers. Within this time, several other gang members had arrived at the scene, with bullets being fired around and at the house, shattering windows and leaving bullet holes. Within another minute, a nearby patrol car had arrived at the scene and 3 of the gang members were shot dead, and 2 gained gunshot wounds but fled the scene, bringing the shootout to an end. Vauxhall Police claim the shootout lasted just 3 minutes.

## Aftermath

In the immediate aftermath, the family fled Vauxhall to a secret safe place, which was soon exposed on social media to be in Flintberg. They moved on to another location to avoid being found. After a couple weeks, the family moved in to David's Court, a parliament building in Hamford.

The white Kz cv-100 van, which Jacob had reported following him in the days leading to the shootout was found at the scene of the shootings. Police impounded the van at Vauxhall Police Station, upon investigating they discovered it was owned by Charlie Jones, son of Charles Jones, former leader of the Jones Gang.
