Way to close to home.

I've just messaged @Cleoriff with this.

A friend of mine is in the gym opposite and apparently they keep bringing hostages to the door with a gun to their head before going back inside.

Sick mothers!!!!

Yes I just got a news alert ⚠ about this. Very scary for those involved and I pray that all those hostages involved come out of this safely.

More than sick mothers but what I really think would not be allowed on here....

Yeah, I had to temper my response somewhat too.
Apparently my friend has said loads of people all came running out at once.
She thought there was a fire at first but then hundreds of police arrived, all armed and there is a sniper in the entrance of the gym just waiting for the right opportunity.
Breaking news on Sky now too.

What on earth is happening in this country. We don't have enough horror with terrorists wanting to kill innocent people now this.

I think 'sick mothers' sums them up nicely. Hope to God no one is injured or worse killed.

Apparently not terror related!

It's being reported that the man has taken two members of the staff hostage.

Its currently on Sky and BBC news. They have just spoken to the manager of the bowling club. It's 2 of his staff that are being held hostage or so he believes. Can hear the helicopters circling.

My son has just told me he was going to take his 6 year old daughter to the Soft Play area at Bermuda Park. Luckily she didn't want to go....

Unconfirmed reports that the man has been arrested. Police set flash grenades inside the bowling alley, ambulance arrived and has now left....

Thankfully all well but probably many people traumatised 😕

Hope he rots in hell.

Re: Way to close to home.

Cleoriff — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 18:13:30 GMT

Now confirmed. Hostages released and an arrest has been made...No injuries thank god...

Re: Way to close to home.

MI5 — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 18:14:09 GMT

Excellent news.

Re: Way to close to home.

jonsie — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 18:24:53 GMT

I really despair. What possesses some people to think they will get any demands met by holding hostages with a gun. What a world in which to bring up our children.
