4th shooting in Sheffield this week

[Mo 10]

Another shooting today. This time at Hackenthorpe.

 

Seems to me that this sort of crime is getting out of control.

 

So much for Sheffield being a safe City

It's certainly worrying, they say in the paper that all the incidents were not related, lets hope our local police force pull thier finger out and get some arrests made..

Lets not start panicking just because of four unrelated shootings. Its all part of the growing gun culture in the UK and something we are going to have to live with im afraid.

based on 4 incidents on one week you draw this conclusion. Thank god you aren't the minister for statistics.

Thank God we don't have a Home Secretary as reactionary as you!

 

All i was pointing out is that these shootings are unrelated and we shouldnt be worried. If you look at other comparable Cities like Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham we are still a 'safe city' in terms of gun crime.

 

Don't get wound up by the media.

Its not safe anywhere because criminals travel places, this could happen anywhere (and it does).

because the government is more interested in scoring politic points by banning the legal ownership of handguns than tackling the difficult problems of illegal ownership.
