Power station targeted - Supreme Court discrimination case - Impressive AI writer

1. Summary
   Police believe an intentional firearm attack on two electrical substations in Moore County, NC is to blame for a power outage that has affected 35,000 customers. It began Saturday evening, resulting in thousands of households enduring freezing temperatures overnight without electricity. Temperatures aren't expected to go below freezing for the rest of the week.
   
   Police do not yet have a motive. Some speculated that the incident is linked to a drag performance event that caused local protests, but police said there is currently no evidence of that. Multiple federal agencies, including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, are investigating.
   
   Kevin Perry, who used to oversee security at Arkansas' main electricity provider, said network redundancies usually prevent widespread blackouts, and that whoever is behind this incident likely knew which substations to target to cause a blackout. He said that while some of the most critical, high-voltage substations have ballistic walls around them, trying to protect all substations to that extent would be "cost prohibitive."
