Hi Lynn

I haven't heard anything about this as yet, but it is scary indeed. I would definitely stay in if there is any risk of danger. I hope your OH is safe as well.

    I'm putting the news on now. It seems that the man has killed some people. I hope they catch him soon. Police have helicopters out searching for him.

    Nina is still in Penrith area, not sure whether Mell is still in the Lake District. My daughter and family just came home from there yesterday.

    Hi Lynn

    It said on the news that he has abandoned his car and is now on foot, somewhere nearer the central Lakes. I hope he is caught before he shoots anyone else. The Lakes are busy this week because of it being Bank Holiday.

    It is very hard to understand why anyone should be driven to kill innocent people. Now reporting that it could be as many as 10 people.

    Stay indoors, that's what the police in that area are advising everyone to do. Keep safe. DD

    Now seems that he might have shot himself. A body has been found at Boot which is probably him.

    Colly, it sounds as tho they've got him, or perhaps his body. People are being told they can get back to normal. Just heard this on the radio. DD

    They've just changed their minds - it's a very fluid situation and they're obviously not happy now about one aspect of it all - sorry sweetie, as you were, keep inside. Not even the trains are stopping in Whitehaven. DD

    HI LYnn

    I hope you are ok and that by the time you read this that everything has calmed down. I think your hubby is in the very safest place he could be ..... so try not to worry too mucy.

    It certainly has been scary hearing what has been happening and listening to people describing the uncertainty that they were feeling.

    I am, and have been, thinking of everyone in Cumbria at this time and especially the relatives & friends of those directly affected and also all the emergency services personnel who will have had to deal with very tough events.

    hugs to you all

    Hi Lynn

    You need your hubby home chick. That's what you need.

    You need to talk it over and over with lots of people until the whole community have got over the shock.

    This is desperately sad and scary.

    You take as long as you need and I tell you DEbs will just be glad you are ok.

    Love and hugs

    It is a big thing. Don't apologise, there's no need. The only way the birthday would be ruined would be if she is in the area, and hopefully she isn't. Whitehaven is a small place, I expect lots of people knew him. Things like this make you stop in your tracks. I'm glad your alright, and that your husband is on his way home. DD

    You'll be okay now Lynn.

    Cumbria sure has been the 'happening' place for these last few weeks .....trouble is they haven't been happy occurences. :(

    Anymore nonsense Lynn and send it all down to the Midlands ...we're used to it here :shock: :roll:

    Take care.

    Now I've just heard that 12 people were killed by the gunman, as well as himself. What a terrible tragedy for all the families. 25 people are hospitalised, so I hope the number of dead doesn't rise.

    Lynn, I'm glad that you and your OH are both safe and well.

    valval, men implode. They don't have the safety valve that women do: I'll re-phrase that: they do, but mostly they don't use it.

    It's called conversation. Talk about what's bothering you. Ring the Samaritans or something. Apparently (according to the press) he's a divorced father - that's enough stress on its own. DD
