| At least 5 people were reported killed and 25 more injured after a gunman randomly opened fire in several areas of West Cumbria. Later, a body (thought to be that of the suspect killer who was a taxi driver) was found in an area of the Lake District. What IS happening within our society ? Those poor, poor people and their devastated families..... |

| Apparently the first person he shot & killed was a good friend of his! The others were picked out at random, going about their business as he drove around. Seems the body IS that of the suspect shooter, taxi driver Derrick Bird. What a shock..... |

| Yes, Richard. Sadly the death toll was 'upped' since I posted. Regular TV prog 'Corrie' has been taken off tonight's listings because (I think) of the current storyline in that soap. Too close for comfort..... I saw a brief interview earlier with a Criminologist who said that incidents such as this, in Britain, are in fact rare events and that decades often separate them, compared with the USA and Finland for example. Not much comfort in that though. |

| it is so sad for these people who live on the other side of the country to us. They have suffered the floods and then the coach crash with the school children and now this - my heart goes out to them. |

| I'm originally from Whitehaven and most of my family live in Whitehaven or close by. Scary thing for me was that my cousin was walking down towards the street where the main shooting happened at the time (found out later off my auntie) |
