I assume i'm not the only one glued to the TV.

The geezer has just killed himself after shooting 11 people in the Seascale area of Cumbria.

Or maybe i am ;) .

New information coming out every minute it seems.

People who knew Derrick Bird say he was a very nice bloke and well liked. Something has kicked off at taxi rank between he (a taxi driver) and 3 other drivers. He's killed two, injured another, and then just gone on a spree. At least 5 dead and minimum 25 injured. One of the dead is his own mother.

His mother is safe and sound and being comforted. Tut tut.

Re: the 'tut tut' - i agree. Surely they can't broadcast something like that if the person is indeed alive.

I heard it on Radio 4. It did say that despite rumours his mother wasn't involved
