New Mexico Town Held For Ransom (Las Cruces)

Las Cruces police are warning residents that someone threatened to randomly shoot people if city leaders failed to hand over what they described as a "substantial" ransom.

The city received the second of two threatening letters Friday afternoon, but police remained tightlipped about details of the demand, including how much money was involved. They did say the demand called for a "substantial amount."

I certainly hope this is a prank.

The letter — the second sent to the city in recent weeks — was hand written with an unusual style of printing.

Hmmm...
