PeakOil 352 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/10214661.stm Several people have been killed and others injured after a gunman opened fire in several areas of west Cumbria. Police are searching for the suspect, named as Derrick Bird, after shots were fired in Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont. He is believed to be heading towards the central Lakes area in a grey or silver Picasso, registration ND55 ZFC. A force spokesman said officers are working to establish the identities of those killed and wounded. Police were initially called after shots were fired in Duke Street, Whitehaven, at 1035 BST. A force spokesman said: "We can confirm that a number of people have been injured after shots were fired in the Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont areas this morning. "There are a number of fatalities and police are working to identify the individuals and inform relatives. Ambulance crews are in attendance across the area." People living across central and west Cumbria are being urged to stay indoors and drivers are being warned not to pick up hitchhikers in case the suspect is on foot. The Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in west Cumbria has also closed its gates as a safety precaution and afternoon shift workers are being told to stay away until the "risk is reduced". Anyone who sees Mr Bird, from Rowrah near Frizington, should contact Cumbria Police. A force spokesman said: "He was last seen heading south in the Central Lakes direction. "He may have abandoned the car and be proceeding on foot. Armed police are currently working to apprehend him and advising members of the public in West and Central Lakes areas to go indoors and stay there until further notice." Rumour is he is using a shotgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yeah just watching it now, Madness utter madness. DERRICK BIRD his name is. He's using a shotgun and has been shooting people in different areas of Cumbria. Too all of our Cumbrian members I hope you stay safe and keep out of sight before this lunatic is brought down. I wish SGS was over in Cumbria so he could play Rambo and take this guy down with one of his concealed pocket Rocket hand cannons. I'm hearing on sky news that there is around 10 murders so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
