It's terrible isn't it? I'm North Cardiff but know a lot of people in West Cardiff and hope everyone pulls through ok.

Multiple serious injuries , thought to be 11, including children.

A man has been arrested so at least the incident is over. Small comfort of course.

It's just one of those incidents that you can't quite take in. Awful

I was in that area just about an hour before and caught up in the aftermath..... truly horrific for all involved, praying for the children and their families.

It is horrendous. I'm also north Cardiff but we have had a police presence here too. It's horrendous, here is an up to date link (on phone so may not work).

Heath A&E is closed apart for those involved in the incident if you need to go to hospital all are diverted to Newport.

There are people saying 5 including children have died but its not confirmed, I hope to god that's wrong.

I'm another one in North Cardiff. This is just shocking and so terrible for the poor souls involved. I just don't understand what possesses someone to do such a thing?!

The only thing I can compare it to is the computer game grand theft auto. Can see that appearing in the defence "grand theft auto turned me into a psychopath and I now have to reenact all the levels for real". No, you're just one of the biggest cunts I've heard of in a long time.

I rarely post on news stories. It is just so hard to process. What on earth could possess anyone to do such a thing - especially to children.

I'm central Cardiff. Lots of family in Ely and was shopping in leckwith earlier with Dd2.

I feel sick thinking about this.

I hope the reports about fatalities are wrong.

hugandroll · 19/10/2012 18:23

I do too mike. Must be really surreal for you to think you were there before it happened. Glad you had left and didn't get caught up in it but its just incomprehensible for the families that are involved.

MikeLitorisBites · 19/10/2012 18:30

We only went into one shop, we'd normally spend a while going around smyths. By through look of things that was a wise move.

I'm trying get in touch with family now. My cousin has dc in school close by. I'm sure I would have heard something if there was any problems but you just never know.

I hope that those injured recover well. It's just mindless.

Bloody hell pipin, I saw on my fb wall that apparently a woman and child had been killed. I was hoping it was a dreadful rumour. People are also naming him. But, the wrong name is being banded about.
I need to call my mum, but she's never in so ill worry more if I don't get an answer, even though she never answers.
