Just another ordinary Tuesday in San Andreas turned to tragedy for Representative James Hill, after an known perpetrator attempted to take his life. The attack permanently scarred him, and Mr. Hill is now left with severe burns, stab wounds, and severe damage to his left eye.
Mr Hill confirmed to Shout News that the perpetrator had plead guilty to multiple charges, and asked if the perpetrator could remain anonymous.
In a letter to the citizens of San Andreas, the representative said:
I address you today with yet another heavy matter but with a resolute heart. As many of you may be aware, an attempt was made on my life, I suffered two stab wounds, severe burns, and potentially, the removal of my left eye.
The Perpetrator (who shall remain anonymous) has tendered a plea of guilty to the act of attempting to take my life.

The representative asks San Andreas to forgive, and to remain steadfast.
To the citizens of San Andreas, if you know this person, I ask that you forgive them in the same way as I have.
Justice has not only been done, but they have committed themselves to justice through their surrender.
Four of the five Pillars of Justice have been observed in this matter, but now it is for rehabilitation to take place
James Hill, Representative (LHP)
With an election just around the corner, and the representative joining the new Lighthouse Party, the future remains bright in the wake of distress and heart break.
Of course, while this assassination attempt has left me scarred, my resolve and determination remain untarnished – I will continue to work diligently for the People and will ensure that the mandate which I set out to achieve is met and then some.
I take great pride in being your representative, and being one which many have stated would vote for again and I sincerely hope that I will meet your expectations.
James Hill, Representative (LHP)
This isn’t the first time violence has been taken again a sitting representative. The Lighthouse Party released this statement in response to the attack.
We the Executive are appalled by the violent acts against Representative Hill and condemn them in the strongest possible terms. Our elected officials deserve our respect, gratitude, and protection.
We will do everything in our power to support Representative Hill at this time, we wish him a speedy recovery and urge our community to offer their sympathies and keep him in their thoughts.
We hope that this incident will serve as a reminder of the importance of civility, respect, and constructive dialogue in our public discourse.
We will not let intimidation and violence deter us from our pursuit of a better Government for all our citizens.
