Batgirls#17(2023)

The Batgirls and Kyle Mizoguchi attend the Aparo Park Jubilee, an annual street festival in the Hill. Grace O'Halloran also shows up to record an episode of her podcast, where she bemoans the neighbourhood's recent gentrification and residents from more affluent parts of the city moving in. A sniper begins firing into the crowd and several people; including the Batgirls, Kyle and Grace, retreat into Dhaliwal to Wall Books. Grace's cameraman Roky is still outside and so Stephanie and Cassandra go out to rescue him. They manage to get Roky to safety, but he is hit and the shooter escapes. Roky is sent to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries, causing the recently sober Grace to relapse back into alcoholism. The next night the Batgirls go out on patrol and see members of the Hill's Angels selling an illegal gun to a civilian. They swoop in and tell the gangsters to drop their weapons, and that by selling weapons to frightened civilians they are only going to increase the level of violence in the neighborhood. Their customer, Grace, slips away without being noticed or recognised. Meanwhile the sniper, who is revealed to hate vigilantes and believe that the GCPD are unfairly treated by the city, watches from a distance. They line up a headshot on Stephanie but decide to instead shoot at one of the Angels. The Angels try to return fire at the sniper's presumed location, stepping out of cover to do so, but the Batgirls restrain them before they can get hurt. Stephanie draws fire while Cassandra sneaks up on the sniper's nest. By the time she gets there they have gone, but has left behind three bullets and a note reading "One for each Batgirl". Cassandra realises that they are the targets.
