8 year old critical after shooting

[peasepud 59]

An eight-year-old boy remains critically ill after a shooting at a travellers' site in South Tyneside.

 

Police said the victim was in a "critical but stable" condition after undergoing surgery on Friday night.

 

A 10-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of wounding following the incident, thought to have happened at West Pastures in Boldon.

 

Supt Jim Napier confirmed the weapon used in the shooting was "some kind of firearm, a gun".

 

"We are working to try and put together the pieces of what this incident was about but it is too early to speculate at this stage," he said.

 

Appealing for witnesses Supt Napier also sought to reassure the public.

 

"I would like to reassure the public that we do not have someone wandering around with a gun shooting children," he said.

 

He added that it was too early to speculate whether the victim and the suspect were related.

 

West Pastures is a small permanent travellers' site to the south of Gateshead.

Fucking pikeys.

 

I think however that its fairly safe to say that the victim and suspect were related, brother shags sister, has kid, shags cousin, has kid, shags mother....etc etc

No shit, Sherlock.

 

What next, "Supt Jim Napier confirmed the weapon used in the stabbing was some king of pointy thing..."?

Did you see where the police confiscated a load of their horses (100 or so) that were being neglected last week?

 

And within 3 days they'd found the "secret" location and stolen them back.

 

 

 

 

I dunno if that speaks more of the way they can so readily ignore the law without consequence, or of police incompetence.
