**BREAKING: FURRY MENACE ON THE LOOSE!**
In a bizarre series of events, a notoriously nasty squirrel has taken it upon itself to become the bane of existence for residents of Oakdale, California. Dubbed the “Nutty Ninja” by locals, this bushy-tailed bandit has left a trail of terror and destruction in its wake, sending at least two people to the emergency room and countless others running for cover.
Eyewitnesses describe the squirrel as “enraged,” “feral,” and “clearly plotting world domination.” The creature, estimated to be around 10 inches long and sporting a menacing glint in its eye, has been spotted roaming the streets, leaving a path of chaos and nut shells in its wake.
“I was just trying to enjoy my morning coffee when suddenly, this…this…thing came out of nowhere!” exclaimed local resident, Karen Jenkins. “It chased me down the sidewalk, chattering and squeaking like a miniature dictator. I’m pretty sure it was plotting to steal my snacks.”
The first reported incident occurred on Tuesday morning, when 32-year-old Dave Wilson was attacked while walking his dog. “I was just strolling along, and then suddenly, this squirrel comes out of nowhere and starts biting my ankles,” Wilson recounted from his hospital bed, where he is being treated for severe squirrel-induced trauma. “I mean, I’ve heard of squirrels being aggressive, but this guy was on a whole different level. I’m pretty sure it was trying to steal my lunch.”
The second victim, 29-year-old Sarah Lee, was rushed to the hospital after the squirrel allegedly leapt onto her head, sending her tumbling to the ground. “I was just trying to get to work on time, and then…WHAM! This furry menace comes out of nowhere and starts pummeling me with acorns,” Lee said, still shaken. “I’m pretty sure it was trying to make a statement about the importance of proper squirrel etiquette.”
Authorities have issued a warning to residents, advising them to exercise extreme caution when approaching the area. “We urge everyone to be vigilant and keep a safe distance from this…this…squirrel,” said Oakdale Police Chief, Mark Davis. “We are working to safely capture the creature and relocate it to a more suitable environment, preferably one with an endless supply of nuts and a strict no-snacking policy.”
In the meantime, residents are advised to keep their snacks under lock and key, and to report any further squirrel sightings to the authorities immediately.
**UPDATE:** The Oakdale City Council has announced an emergency meeting to discuss the “Squirrel Situation” and potential solutions, including the installation of squirrel-proof snack containers and the creation of a special Squirrel Response Team.
