[QUOTE]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 car with the 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.
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.
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." [/QUOTE]

Let me guess: You own like 5 shotguns of the same model and you feel violated by discussions about banning guns?
this isn't a failing of gun control, it's a failing of people control.
clearly an unwell man who was left to his own devices

Well, I'm glad i'm on study leave rather than in school at Cumbria
Ahh, glad the cunt shot himself. Seemed to be moving closer in my direction as the day passed.
Only a couple of miles away by the end of it!
How do people get guns though?
[QUOTE=d3450;22321946]How do people get guns though?[/QUOTE]
From a gun dealer? Shotgun licences are easy to get.
That's pretty close to where I live. :ohdear:
Saw this on the news this morning.
My condolences to the family members.

He was probably in a shooting club/hunting club, since Cumbria's pretty rural.
