Object

Police Cruiser

A standard first-responder police cruiser parked outside the Newseum during the town-hall collapse: metal bodywork, roof-mounted lightbar whose plastic cover is shattered, scuffed paint and glass fragments scattering across pavement. The vehicle absorbs blunt force and stray rounds during the chaos; agents and bystanders jolt away as the cruiser’s lights strobe and its siren wails. Characters shove past it, its toppled equipment becomes collateral wreckage, and its damaged top and light function as visible markers of the scene’s sudden descent into violence.
