Major incident in Nottingham

[Childcare47]

Anyone local know what’s going on?

Looks like a huge response.

No speculation, just really sad about what’s happened in my city today and praying those in hospital make a full recovery.

They are part of a specialist response unit set up after the Manchester Arena bombing, have a wider scope than bomb disposal.

@RudsyFarmer

Probably even more reason to not piss them off but my comment was certainly not ‘vile’.

Appreciate your reply but just for clarity can I emphasise I didn't use the word you've put in quotes.

Possibly police and ambulance too, I think they may be inter agency rescue teams specifically trained for these types of incident.

Nottingham has a problem with gang violence and has done for some time, so I imagine it's related to that or as someone else suggested, a family feud.

Police have expressed condolences to the family, singular.

What a horrible shame for all those involved.

I didn’t decide it was Russia. I said, or at least was thinking, that when you provoke a country though supplying arms you heighten the risk of a terrorist attack. Currently we are very much provoking Russia no?

No. We are not ‘very much provoking Russia’. Russia (Moscow / Putin) and only Russia is wholly and entirely responsible for its unwarranted crimes against the Ukrainian people. Destroying cities, lives, land, murdering hundreds of thousands of armed forces and civilians alike, kidnapping children, purposely causing ecological disaster, and creating global chaos and famine beyond Ukraine on top of tens of thousands of war crimes.

Good god. How can anyone believe that helping an independent sovereign nation defend itself against an entirely vicious and unwarranted attack is us ‘provoking’ Russia? An argument straight out of RT…

Apologies for the derail and thoughts and prayers to the families of those killed and injured.

I’m not against helping Ukraine but we have put ourselves in the firing line by doing so. That’s a fact and we may well find there will be consequences in the future because of it.

While it's terrible that three people have died, 4am seems a strange time for a terrorist incident. Not a lot of random people around to target.

If it is drug or gang related, then it may have been a targeted attack?

I didn't think it was a"vile comment" either.

There have been incidents regarding Russian agents even before the Ukraine conflict. I thought it was a reasonable speculation (but just speculation, so not too much weight to be given to it.)

Also in terms of the Russian/Ukraine conflict I think Boris absolutely loved trying to channel Churchill in his speeches. We could have quietly supported but he wanted to be a massive braggart about it in the hope of it positively impacting his own career. While Europe were having discussions he was out there with a bloody stab vest on making sure he was seen to be helping.

Anyway, regardless of all that it sounds like a very sad incident and I’m sure in time we will find out the facts ♥️

What people don’t seem to realise is there’s lots of petty crime and criminals in their area, maybe even known to them but depending on your everyday life you might not know. I had no idea until a platonic male friend told me that his brothers (2 of them) had both been inside for gang and non related crimes, murder etc. I mean he lives the other side of London to me so….

I knew sadly enough through local area a few petty criminals when younger. Didn’t trust them then don’t now.

Probably a hit man job.

back in the day I knew of 2 people one a dealer killed on his doorstep and one killed at a rave can’t recall if he was a DJ or not. I didn’t know them personally but DB did. Both targeted. I feel actually sick saying this as it just feels scummy to me…

OMG I cant believe this "russian terrorists" derail... If it was russia it surely would have been London, not Nottingham - older russians maybe heard of Robin Hood but most would have no idea what Nottingham is...

This to me sounds like drug/ gang thing, or maybe family dispute related.

I'm in nottingham and it's now on national news 😔https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65888114

There's always someone who implies that we should blame the authorities rather than the perpetrator(s).

What out of any of that suggests a terrorist attack in particular? Terrorist attacks are usually in busy places/times in order to provoke terror not so early in the morning. I think it would be more likely to be gang related.

Human nature to speculate.

I agree. Gang or domestic, or a combination.

It'll be some bitter bloke whose life isn't going the way he wants. He'll have an excuse of some kind. But the truth is he's inadequate.

’In the UK we define terrorism as a violent action that: Endangers a person's life, other than that of the person committing the action. Involves serious violence against a person. Causes serious damage to property. Creates a serious risk to the public's health and safety’.

Seems to fit the criteria 🤷‍♀️

We all know what you meant by ‘terrorist attack’. You mentioned the Russians for a start.

Some people clearly know very little about terrorism, but have an awful lot to say about it.

We should take those sorts of posts with a whole tipper truck of salt.

If we hadn't helped Ukraine and had let that nice Mr Putin have it, we'd be getting a lot more crap in the future. Blokes like him just keep on going till forced to stop.

I regularly go to work events in Nottingham that have a night out attached and I have to say that on a Monday night at 4am near kebab shops, takeaways, student halls etc there are lots of people out and about at that time, even on a Monday night - same as in any university town. Even in big cities like London in certain areas it would be the same.

Of course. I have concerns about how we went about it. As I said earlier I think Boris decided to go full blown Churchill on us. For his own personal ends plus it was a very handy deflection against the bad press re. partygate.
