I'm scared

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.

joanlawson · 2. Jun 2010, 08:22

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

joanlawson · 2. Jun 2010, 09:04

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

Goodness, just got logged on after being at the hospital all morning and had no idea this was going on.

Am off to switch on the telly - Lynn and everyone else in the Lakes - stay in and stay safe.

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

dreamdaisy · 2. Jun 2010, 09:22

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

Dear Lynn

Hope you're okay, I was thinking about you when I heard it on the news this morning. Hope you hear from OH very soon.

Keep safe

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

WOnky xxxx

It's over. The gunman's body has been found. I hope you are feeling ok. DD

dachshund · 2. Jun 2010, 11:20

Hi Lynn i hope you and your hubby are alright now.

frogmorton · 2. Jun 2010, 11:28

Think she must still be in shock

Lynn

have brought you some strong sweet tea from the cafe

Hope hubby is home soon.

Love

Toni xx

frogmorton · 2. Jun 2010, 11:42

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

Toni xx

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

lindalegs · 2. Jun 2010, 11:57

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.

This has been a dreadful shock for you Lynn.

All my love and special thoughts to you both.........Ange.

joanlawson · 2. Jun 2010, 12:38

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.

wibberley · 2. Jun 2010, 12:54

Hi Lynn, am so glad you are your hubby are okay.

Dont worry about spoiling my birthday it got spoilt any way.Not by you.
Take care & i hope theyve got the gunman so you can feel safe.
((((hugs)))) debs

dreamdaisy · 2. Jun 2010, 14:25

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

tkachev · 2. Jun 2010, 14:41

Hi Lynn,

what dreadful news. And the funeral of that young girl today too. My thoughts are with you.
