Bedford Roughyed Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Been shot and stabbed in her office outside library where she was holding a surgery. Breaking news. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Gunman still at large. MP airlifted to Leeds. Armed police at Leeds Hospital.

Ramite Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Police have arrested a man , seems she got caught in the middle of a argument between others. Another man was shot in the same incident.

Stan Doffarf Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Quite shaken up by this. Just after midday we left Birkenshaw headed for Birstall Market but it started to rain, so we diverted to the Aldi in Batley. Driving back along Bradford Road we were overtaken by police cars and vans, police vehicles all over the place near the A62 traffic lights, two helicopters above.... At home I learned the terrible news. All afternoon I've been thinking, what if? Obviously this is not about me, it's a dreadful tragedy for Jo and her family, a dedicated public servant just doing her job. I'm beginning to fear for the future of our democracy when something like this can happen. And when they found our shadows Grouped around the TV sets They ran down every lead They repeated every test They checked out all the data on their lists And then the alien anthropologists Admitted they were still perplexed But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They logged the only explanation left This species has amused itself to death No tears to cry no feelings left This species has amused itself to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 She was doing what all MP's do, talking to her constituents, making herself available. What is wrong with our country? Do we want them only to meet with us when armed guards are present? Stunned. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

ckn Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 How the hell do people get hold of guns? We are becoming as bad as the states! Watching on the news there was a restaurant owner guy who described a shotgun type weapon. Plenty of those around. That's only speculation though that it was one of those.
