In shocking news, it has been discovered that Left 4 Dead star and lovable war veteran Bill has been taking his role as a post-apocalyptic zombie combatant a little too far. Perhaps to protect his identity, news outlets are referring to him as Robert Sylvester, but he is now in a critical condition after leading cops on a high speed chase and pulling a gun on them. Vietnam flashbacks, maybe?
"Sylvester" is suspected of robbing a Check n' Go in Bloomington. After leaving with an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect led police from the crime scene to Normal Community West High School in Normal, where he started waving his gun around. Naturally, he was shot.
Just in case you think this isn't really Bill and we've simply decided to pick on some old criminal with a vague and passing resemblence to a videogame character, may I direct you to the photoshop artist's conception provided by our tipster, Ernie. After seeing the helpful additions he was made to the above picture of "Sylvester," I think his real identity will become clear.

Either way, Holy Shit!!! I've been to that gas station before and live not too far away from the high school. If I hadn't been away on break I coulda gotten some exclusive inside video footage of this video game hero gone awry.

I totally saw this a few days ago on the news too..
The update is to fix a cheat that people found that could cause tanks and witches to spawn inside the safe room.
RELOADING!
HUNTER'S GOT BILL!
sucks he lived though...
Francis is white too. I think you wanted to say Louis.
Ridiculous comment, especially considering we were news heavy today and more than that, this was posted at frigging, 11pm or something. More like, saved a silly post for the late night.
Some of the commenters here need to lighten up. Can I get a "HOW IS THIS NEWS?" up in here.
This is why I signed up!
Don't go it alone!
