Just watching it.Terrifying. There seems to be a spate of killings all over the Uk at the moment,not related of course but there's been so many murders featured in the news,more than usual it seems.

ClaireDeLoon · 02/06/2010 13:05

so he's not in custody? I hope they catch him soon.

PrivetDancer · 02/06/2010 13:05

I know, just saw that. He's still on the loose too

I don't mean just these shootings. I mean UK wide killings,there seems to be more than usual at the moment.

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2010 13:09

must be scary if you live in the area

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 13:10

I can't imagine what it's like there. Everyone has been told to stay indoors.

The BBC news site says that several people have been killed though the official toll,according to the news,is 1 at the moment.

jetcat · 02/06/2010 13:11

stealth, its scary and i am in the north east, not the lakes Hope they catch him soon - and please god dont let him hurt anyone else

jetcat · 02/06/2010 13:12

sky news say as many as 4 killed and many more injured

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 13:12

I'm normally anti death penalty but I hope the police kill him.

Remotew · 02/06/2010 13:13

I have text family to tell them to stay indoors, central Lakes. It's awful though they are saying he might be on foot now.

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2010 13:14

me too jetcat, think he'd struggle to get over here

ClaireDeLoon · 02/06/2010 13:15

There must be lots of people out walking in the lakes on a nice day in half term, I hope they get him before anyone else is hurt.

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2010 13:15

was he just firing in the open? DH sent me the link earlier and I got the impression he'd fired in a shop, and no-one had been hurt??

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 13:15

One person was killed at a taxi rank I believe.

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2010 13:17

How on earth did I get that in my head?

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 13:18

It seems that others have been killed but only one death has been officially confirmed.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 02/06/2010 13:25

Bumping in case anyone in area not seen the news to stay indoors.

ClaireDeLoon · 02/06/2010 13:27

11 people shot at least 3 fatalaties per bbc news now

LetThereBeRock · 02/06/2010 13:28

BBC saying that they think 11 have been shot,unsure how many fatally.

A farmer has also been confirmed dead.

Pennies · 02/06/2010 13:28

11 shootings not sue of fatalities.. Bet this bloke, Derek Bird, shoots himself in the end if the police don't get him.
