Apparently four fatalities and many injured, according to twitter he's a taxi driver and started firing into a taxi rank. The police are urging people in the area to stay in doors as he's still on the loose in his car. Rumour has it his name is Derek Bird (52) and has had a number of personal tragedies lately or something to that affect.

 

scary stuff

just watching sky news now, crazy fucking shit!!

Makes you wonder where he got the fuckin gun from and thank god they aren't more widespread otherwise you'd get every nutter with a grudge killin innocents left right and centre

Supposed to be shotgun rather than a handgun according to reports on the Beeb so it's fairly easy to get hold of one. Hasn't Fop got a licence btw?

He's dead.

 

thank fuck for that, though I do really wonder what sent him off the edge

 

suicide or did the police get him?

Why didn't the sorry cunt just do that anyway?

 

Exactly he has just traumatised a shitload of people as well as the murders - actions of a seriously mentally ill person or a selfish horrible bastard who deserved a slower more painful death

They are describing him as someone they think wouldn't do such thing.

 

they always are though

 

Yes. Good point. He just shot a farmer in his gate, for no reason, just drove past in the car.

Is that a euphemism?

No. Not intended to be so anyway.

 

They are still to confirm it's him.

According the the GP from Seascale he's certfied two dead with shotgun wounds to the face and that the experience is "horrific".

 

They'll have no face left surely? ;)

scarily reminiscant of the Hungerford massacre years ago and also that nut-job who went on the run in Monkseaton not long afterwards.

I suppose that'd be pretty conclusive evidence of a shotgun wound to the face...

Out of interest does anyone know where Fop lives?
