Gunman on the run in Tyneside

[StealthPolarBear]

here

i would imagine there will be an inquiry, apparently he was seen in seaton delaval at 5.30pm about 6 hours before the armed robbery took place there. Then theres the fact the prison knew he had made threats. If he does kill himself then those idiots who helped him will be kicking themselves when they get sent to prison.

Important correction -- it was Auntie Doris I think.

Did she just say "bless him" ?!!?!?

I heard Dorothy

OK I stand corrected. But hopefully any future inquiry will lay the whole Dorothy/Doris issue to rest once and for all.

I know I won't sleep tonight until I know for sure

I can't believe that woman was thick enough to stand so near the reporters to call her mam. Talk about desperate for little lime light.

I'd be indoors as far away from the windows as possible.

Feel sorry for all the people living near to where he is. I really hope it doesn't nd in blood shed.

It seems to have turned into quite the spectator sport I spotted a crowd of men stood right by the police line drinking cider!

OMG there are children at the police line what are their parents thinking off. There is a man who has killed once has stated his intent to kill again if necessary and wants to be killed by police in the area. Are they insane?

I had to laugh when they said there was an angler fishing nearby where he is meant to be just watching. I can just imagine some old country bloke in waist high wellies just standing there watching, not having a clue what is going on as he doesn't watch the news.

"The village is gripped in fear". No shit!

Is he just round that corner then? Those armed police seem to be pretty involved!

Look how close the armed police are to the police line and now Sky has reported that he is not stationary No way would I be anywhere near there

Did I hear that right he was chased through the village

yy,

The sight of active armed police would be a sign for me to scarper in the opposite direction and get inside.

But if he tries anything they'll shoot him won't they? He's not going to run into the village.

keep this up ladies! i have no broadcast tv, and don't have a tv licence so can't watch online either, but am morbidly fascinated. so do keep updating!!!

children nearby??? i can't believe the police anre't telling their parents to take them indoors. good grief

at the child being pushed into the camera.

I live right near the A1 where the police come from Ponty Land, and there are loads of police cars flying up there. They've been going up for the past hour or so.

dont worry thisisyesterday, what with everyones local knowledge we know more here than skynews!

i can't believe none of you have a house overlooking the whole thing tho! tut

I am addicted to rolling news and so am flicking between BBC news and Sky while refreshing on here. I also can't believe he hadn't left the area.

Surely the police will be authorised to shoot if he makes a move back into the village. So I can't believe he will be able to do that.
