"There was a disruption earlier at today's football match between the Raccoon Sharks and the Old Court Thunders. Apparently the game was interrupted when an unruly fan got out of control and sparked a riot. The number of injured is not yet known, but more than 50 broke the line before the cops could take control of the scene..."

RNN (Raccoon News Network) was a local news TV channel in Raccoon City.

Raccoon City Destruction Incident[]

Raccoon Sharks x Old Court Thunders[]

On the night of 23 September 1998, the RNN reported on a disruption earlier that afternoon during a local football match between the Raccoon Sharks and the Old Court Thunders. A single Zombie rampaged across the stadium, sparking a riot, prompting more than fifty local law enforcement officers to be called to the scene. The incident ended with several people sent to the Raccoon General Hospital in critical condition.[1]

Report on the restricted area[]

RNN リチャード・ハリスがお伝えします
私は今 ラクーンシティの中心から
300マイルの地点にいます
出入りを許されているのは
最高レベルの機密許可者だけです
ハイウェイは完全に封鎖され
大勢の兵が動員されています
いったいここで何が起こったのでしょう?
事情を知らない方の目には
紛争地域のように映るかもしれません
しかし現実は遥かに重大のようです
政府は詳細を発表していませんが、
立ち入り禁止区域の広さからして、甚大な
被害が予想されます

 
RNN, Richard Harris reporting.
I am now 300 miles from the center of Raccoon City.
Only authorized individuals of the highest level of confidentiality are allowed in or out.
The highway is completely closed off and many troops have been mobilized.
What exactly has happened here?
It may look like a warzone to the eyes of those unaware of the circumstances, but the reality seems to be much more serious.
Although the government has not released any details, the damage is expected to be enormous due to the size of the restricted area.

Inside the files for “Training Ground” in File #2 there is a subtitles file for the unused scenario tentatively called “A Day in Raccoon”.

Based on the quote highlighted above, it's safe to say that we have a full transcription of it in File #2's data.

先日より続いている連続傷害事件は
ますます激しさを増し
住民に不安が広がっています
かつては平安と秩序を誇った町
ラクーン市は
未知の恐怖に脅かされいます
ラクーン市からの最新ニュースです
暴徒と化した市民グループが
現在市街地に集まっています
市民が政府からの発表を求めて
デモを起そうとしているのだと思われます
ただいま現場上空にいる
ヘリとの中継がつながりました

ごらんになれるでしょうか
ダウンタウン中心で起こっている暴動です
彼らは皆
なにかに乗り移られたように行動しています
非常に興奮していて
手のつけようがありません
私達は、事態が収まるのを
上空から見守るしかないのです
みなさん、これは現実です
今現在
ラクーンシティで起こっていることなのです
この混乱の原因は、いまだ掴めておりません
非常に危険な状態です

The once peaceful and orderly town of Raccoon City is threatened by a mysterious terror.
Breaking news from Raccoon City, a group of civilians have reduced themselves to rioters.
The citizens currently gathering in the streets are seeking a government announcement and appear to be trying to stage a protest.
We're over the site as we speak and going live with our helicopter.

Take a good look at this, a riot is breaking out in the heart of downtown.
They're all acting as though they're possessed by something.
We have no choice but to observe the situation from the air.
Everyone, this is really what's happening in Raccoon City right now.
We have yet to learn the cause of this chaos and conditions are extremely dangerous.

News Anchor:
Lucinda is live on the scene with our helicopter, we take you there now. Lucinda?

Lucinda:
This is really happening in Raccoon City, ladies and gentlemen.
