Major Incident in Glasgow

[INeedAHol]

I can hear nothing but sirens from my flat.

Have read that it appears to be a terrorist attack, but not confirmed. At least 3 dead. Glasgow city centre. Just awful

It’s live on Sky News now

Absolutely dreadful. Also rumours of a police officer stabbed.

Multiple stabbings

Police federation have confirmed an officer stabbed. I’m in tears.

It's just awful. Apparently the suspect has been shot?

Oh no, not again

It's awful
I do try not to believe too much until it's confirmed by the news, but it doesn't look good. So frightening.

It's on the BBC news website now as well.

My heart goes out to you up there. It's so hard to process when it's in your neck of the woods (I'm Reading based, and from Christchurch in NZ).

I think it's unlikely to be a terrorist attack as the hotel was closed to the public and being used to house asylum seekers (in very poor conditions).

It looks awful, we're in South Glasgow and just getting it through the news now.

We're such a friendly place, hard to think of something like this happening here.

Awful. Poor souls.

Oh I hadn't got the impression it was a terrorist attack. Time will tell I suppose.

This is the third Police Scotland officer stabbed in less than two weeks.

I’m a police officer in Police Scotland and frankly in feeling sick to my stomach about the anti police sentiment there has been lately and yet we run towards incidents and risk our lives on the line to help the poor souls like today who have sadly died as a result of terrible violence.

My thoughts to all that have died and have been hurt, and to my colleague. I’m hearing rumours on the police private fb pages and I pray they are inaccurate.

Neither had I, though I can see why someone might thought that I had! I was referring to violent incidents leading to multiple deaths in general.

They have just said on LBC the suspect was shot dead.

Time will tell I suppose
Yes, no point in speculating.

This is a good point, it would be closed to the public. Sky news keep saying it’s likely terror related though. Which is strange because there’s nothing currently to suggest it is. We shall find out soon enough.

Confirmed the suspect and 3 people have died.

We’re in the east end of Glasgow, I just read about it a few minutes ago

Terrorists can fuck off. We have enough to contend with right now. Poor, poor people

Horrific.
Thoughts with everyone involved.
So much respect for the police and all emergency services dealing with this. Must be very frightening.

Dammit, I feel I have started a chain of thought, that it was a terrorist attack. That is not what I was implying, and I'm sorry if anyone has taken it as such. Other posters are so correct in saying that this sort of speculation really isn't helpful.

nicknacky, I'm so sorry, it must be hella hard being a police officer, particularly right now. I'm sure the vast majority of people are appreciative of the courage of the police, and their efforts to keep us safe and our communities crime free. I know I am.

My heart goes out to those that have so senselessly lost their lives, and their families, friends, and communities.

Hope it's got nothing to do with the protests in George Square being hijacked by right wing nutters.
