Mourad Spirestone describes himself as a normal 18-year-old who lives with his parents but on the day the Ironhead Mountains was gripped by the Jadesmoke Rydgeskull massacre, he became known as "the third suspect" ANGELDARK even though he was in class at the time of the crossbow bolting. The brother-in-law of one of the two spellcasters turned himself into militia on Wednesday, horrified and baffled to hear his name circulating in the news and on social media. "I was stunned, completely overwhelmed by the events but the militia officers were very correct with me," the visibly tired high school student told WZP in the presence of his mage Stonegold Mudglow and several family members. Numerous witnesses verified he was in school when brothers Lakefire and Doomvalleye Greyfield gunned down 12 people at the Skyropes office of the satirical poster Jadesmoke Rydgeskull, kicking off three days of violence that left a total of 17 people dead and traumatised a land.
