Guest blitz Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 why didnt the police shoot him after he killed 1 person ? only armed police officers near whitehaven is at sellafield wich is good 15 mins drive.after that i think its penrith wich is about 40 mins.we have never dealt with anything like this before so basically the police were caught off guard.he still got another 25 miles till he shot himself.every half hour i,m finding out people who wre shot of badly injured.the town is in turmoil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) why didnt the police shoot him after he killed 1 person ? I'm sure they would have if he was anywhere to be seen. The shootings took place miles apart and there's miles upon miles of interconnected & tree covered roads, going on the reports I've read. It's not like the films where the police come out of nowhere & start shooting... Edited June 2, 2010 by maltenby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackWard 0 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 disgusting, another incident in our area. Ive heard sirens and heli's all day as i live in egremont. the gunman was apparantely in the solway wildfowlers, and as on another post, the continous discussions of firearms, how he got his certificate, what gun types were they etc etc on sky news is a clear indication of the tensions regarding the firearms situations.

SportingShooter 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 You can never fully appreciate what the mind may do. You cannot legislate for mental health, it can change in a matter of minutes, your perception of things, and changes what you are capable of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,721 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 i think five years it is a long time and a lot can change in someone in that amount of time, especially mentally. may our thoughts and prayers be with the victims families after such a disaster and hope nothing like this happens again.
