The Twikup Take
Fireworks through a smashed front door at 1:40 a.m. is not a prank.
It's an attack on whoever is sleeping inside.
It's fortunate this release reports damage instead of injuries.
The in-store photos are unusually clear for a suspect appeal.
Someone knows the man in the purple hoodie.
