Shots fired at a Mosque in Seven Kings - wtf?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

Is it likely to be a mistake, a car backfiring? It's on news sources as a person with a gun, but maybe that's panic?

Wtf is happening, if not a mistake?

It's on BBC online news

Strange kind of shooting if worshippers were able to chase the gunman out, and no injuries

Kids, maybe?

It sounds bizarre. The guy ran off, so it's not great that he's at large with a gun, if things are as reported.

Sadly, I don't think firearms are that unusual anywhere in London. The East End slowly leaked into the suburbs, in that regard.

Just seen this on the news now. I don't know whether to be shocked or to start getting used to this sort of thing. Seems like every other day there's a shooting or bombing. What is the world coming to. All around the world places of worship and it's worshippers being treated with no respect or tolerance.

Wow, I feel naive! I thought guns were pretty rare in the UK, maybe apart from serious gang people who are reasonably far up in the gang food chain. Leaving out farming/ hunting/ shooting in the countryside.

Where are people getting guns from?

Seven kings Ilford??

Fuck yes on BBC news :(

According to this, no injuries, no damage, blanks fired, terrorism not suspected and police are guarding the mosque but not hunting a suspect.

All a bit unusual.

Hmm, not sure

There's always trouble there. I know my friend is glad she moved away! Yes, trouble in a lot of places but especially ilford way
