Loads of rumours up here that haven't been reported in the media.



Some posts from the Carlisle Forum:


Rumour I have is that another dead in Egremont and the gunman now supposed to be in Seascale. The other crack I have is that there has also been shooting in Arlecdon, Frizington and Rowrah...he is certainly getting about.

It's amazing how quiet it is on the roads round here (Whitehaven) everyone's keeping inside.



Farmer in Gosforth shot dead at point blank range.




i am in egremont at the moment at my parents house, i was on the main street when the police locked us in shops, my little cousin was shot at at thronhill by her house, she is okay and waiting for the police to join her.

people in the shop and a close friend said there was a man killed on bridge end bridge in egremont.

Gosforth as in Newcastle I assume?

Village in West Cumbria.

Village in West Cumbria.

Ahh, must be a tiny one as I just google map searched it with no result other than Newcastle

Local unconfirmed reports say that up to 4 people may have died.

Other reports suggest that the areas they are now searching are Ambleside, Coniston and Central Lakes.

I was in Whitehaven and some of those other places last week, it's not the kind of place you expect that kind of thing to happen.

Inside info from Mrs Jeff is that one of the victims is his brother, and apparently he bought 500 rounds of ammo last week for his legally held shotgun.

Some of the reports say he's in a taxi, not sure if it's his, but Sky are reporting a body is on the floor outside a taxi rank in Whitehaven. That could be his brother

Hope he's caught soon. 500 rounds of ammo doesn't sound great :icon_sad:

He's a taxi driver.

I'm at work, and don't have several TV monitors, or news reports at my disposal :icon_bigg

 

[Jeff]

The local newspaper is saying at least ten people have been killed.

 

[Jeff]

Police think they've found the gunman's body.

Police think they've found the gunman's body.

If theres any justice he will have slipped and slowly bled to death on a rusty nail.

Im in total shock, what a terrible thing to have happened.
