Feuds And Thunderstorms

Feuds & Thunderstorms 

Article by Liv Benedetto Coro & Maria Herrero Benito (English Project)

Police came face with the gruesome discovery of the corpse of Mercutio in Verona Beach this morning. A family had called a squad down to the scene, as they had seen him suffer in his last moments. The family proceeded to tell us that no one had interfered and instead they would sit back and watch in horror as Mercutio bled out onto the sand. 
The quarrelling had started the day before. 
"Everyone was hanging out at the beach. Drinking, laughing... we were all having fun- Mercutio amongst us as well." witness tells us. 
Then Tybalt and a group of Capulets arrive at the beach in search of Romeo Montague, whom no one in Verona Beach had seen at that time. Witnesses had seen Tybalt and they claimed that he was absolutely livid and acted out in a violent way. 
"He was screaming and taunting at Mercutio that I do remember.." Rosa said, whom owns the beach bar. Witnesses do say that it didn't take long for Romeo to arrive. Then things got nasty quite fast. Tybalt started violently assaulting Romeo, he would punch, kick and beat him. The Devon Boys, who watched it from a closer distance saw Mercutio's murder, 
"Mercutio kicked and shoved Tybalt, who fell onto a mirror prop and broke it. Tybalt grabbed a shard of glass and sliced Mercutio's stomach open. It was hard to watch." 
Families watched as Mercutio clenched his stomach tightly with his hands and cried out his last words, "A plague o' both your houses!" and with that, he collapsed onto the sand. 
Many families watched from inside their homes as a hurricane had swept in. It was a little hard to find his body the next day, as we had a search team prod through the sand. Romeo had left the scene just as the hurricane was settling on Verona some families claim. We are all very upset at how the violence is really getting quite harrowing in Verona. It would be heartbreaking to see this continue.
