I believe someone was spotted without a mullet and the fashion police were called.

Come on people - it could be serious - there is a time and place for jokes. What if a mother and their kids have been shot. Unlikely, but you should consider these things before you start with your jokes...

The joke wasn't about someone being shot, infact it didn't mention guns, bullets, shooting or anything related to firearms at all, so I don't see how someone could be offended by it.

Nothing to see here. It is all taped off. Causing some traffic issues but that is it. Some police vehicles leaving now. Not even worth taking a picture.

Might not be related, but an ambulance with siren on has just headed off down west street back towards the hospital...

Totally agree, if you'd made a joke about someone being shot then I could understand.
As for the comment about 'what if a mother and kid had been shot' I guess that everyone knows that mothers and kids are more important than fathers. This over PC lark is depressing.

Went out to get some lunch and snapped a few pictures on my camera phone. The cordon was quite big, so no chance of seeing what was going on. I mentioned to someone that I read about it on the forum and they said "wow, the tape only went up about 10 minutes ago!" - good 'ole forum :)
