Case #1: Honors Convocation

This story is quite late being reported on, since this happened at the end of this past school year, but like I said before I had to convince my sister and her fiance, and I couldn't do that until I managed to tune into Tower TV and until they were finally able to move to the area.

It was apparently at a private school in Huxley, Iowa. The ceremony is said by our source to have been for students in middle school, receiving various awards for exceptional performance in various classes.

All was going well. The students for each category of awards were called up; they took their awards, shook the headmaster's hand, and stood along the edge of the stage so their families in the audience could see and be proud of their kids (whilst applauding and snapping photos, of course).

The ceremony was almost over when something terrible occurred. The final group was on the stage, holding high their hard won prizes and the headmaster was walking forward to give the final speech before dismissal.

A girl near the center to the row of students took out a knife which had been hidden in her clothing. Everyone gasped. She proceeded to slice down her arm. A feathery black wing stuck out and fluttered for a moment before the bird to which it belonged flew out. Then another, and another. Blood pooled on the stage.

All of this happened in the span of seconds, before anyone had time to react.

In total, there were dozens of birds. Some attacked the other students while the rest turned their attentions toward the audience. Several of families, grandparents and young siblings included, ran to the exits, only to find them locked. Everyone was trapped in the auditorium with hostile birds. They sliced flesh and bit through sinew. Some they burrowed into.

The girl from whom they'd come only smiled as she cut down her chest and torso, exposing a wide cavity filled with even more birds where organs should be. These new additions pushed between her ribs and joined the hunt. It appears that the birds were choosing people for some purpose.

As they flew in clusters ever larger, it seemed like lightning flashed a few times, eventually starting a fire. Smoke filled the place and people began to collapse. Eventually the fire consumed all.

Notably missing from the bodies later found at the scene were those of the girl and the others whom the birds had "chosen."

Our source then confiscated the security footage (there had been some prior incidents; it is not known how the girl managed to smuggle the knife inside) and brought it to us. We can't show the video for obvious reasons.

It is unknown at this time what these birds were or what caused this horrible event.
