[Cantgetmyoldnameback]

On the BBC now. Gunman was dressed as Santa. 35 dead so far :-(

[throwingpebbles]

It's so awful.

[ILikeThatSong123]

Religious nuts, part of a game plan. Great shame.

[quicklydecides]

Oh fucking hell, those poor people, so 2017 starts as it will go on.
May they rest in peace.

[Haffdonga]

Oh shit

[RJnomore1]

On the positive side security in the U.K.appears to have held tight tonight.

What an awful thing on turkey though.

[GobblersKnob]

Horrible. Poor poor people

[MadisonAvenue]

Oh no, this is horrible.

[LegoCaltrops]

Bloody hell. Why do people have to be so hateful.

[RabbitSaysWoof]

It has so far RJ, the Istanbul attack was 1:30 their time, so they probably thought same. Those poor people, it's so depressing there's just no let up for them.

[Chelazla]

What is wrong with this world

[Cantgetmyoldnameback]

Apparently people were jumping into the Bosphorus river to escape.

[TheoriginalLEM]

cunts :( there is no place in heaven for these "martyrs" .

[IhatchedaSnorlax]

Fucking bastards

[MrTumblesbitch]

I've just seen this- I actually checked the news to make sure all was okay before I went to sleep. Those poor people, I hope the rest of Europe stays safe tonight

[JustWoman]

I just saw in news ten mins ago and it's was saying no fatalities yet,so sad to hear it's over 35 now :(

[Cantgetmyoldnameback]

BBC News have been reporting 35 dead for a while now. It always takes some time to get accurate numbers at atrocities like this, I guess. Reporting the club would've been packed with many hundreds of people there.

[TheThingsWeAdmitOnMN]

A friend just told me on kik 😢 What a terrible start to the New Year.

[CoteDAzur]

There were apparently two shooters dressed as Santas.

Reina is a beautiful club. I have been there many times, years ago.

By the way, the Bosphorus is a sea not a river.

[thenightsky]

Oh no

[Cantgetmyoldnameback]

Oops, thanks for the correction re the Bodphorus.

I realised earlier that I felt no shock on hearing the news, just sadness. These attacks seem almost invitable now.

[CoteDAzur]

Apparently there was intelligence about a possible attack in Reina tonight, which is why there was police at the door. He was the first to be shot as the gunmen entered.

[iwanttobemissmarple]

Terrible - Reina is such a fabulous restaurant/club. Those poor people & their families. What a way for 2017 to start.

[Tram10]

Absolutely horrendous, RIP to al those who lost their lives and healing thoughts to those injured and dealing with the loss of their loved ones.

[1horatio]

Horrendous. May God rest their souls in peace.

[BeyondTheStarryNight]

It's awful and so relentless. I swear every other post my Turkish friend updates Facebook with recently is another attack.

Is there another thread about this btw?
