hauxwell 235 #1 Posted June 26, 2020 It’s looks as though there has been another knife attack in a Glasgow Hotel. Three people have been killed and several injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
altus 514 #2 Posted June 26, 2020 It's worth noting that the only officially confirmed death so far is that of the attacker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
melthebell 862 #3 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) its weird, seems to be mixed reports about the dead on this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-scotland-53093384 it states The suspect was shot by armed police and died. Six other people are in hospital for treatment to their injuries including a police officer, who is in a critical but stable condition. so you take it as only the attacker died? But then in the next section, with a police federation man speaking it states "As a consequence of dealing with that, people have been injured and tragically some people killed - including one of our officers. There is really not a lot more I can say about it than that.” Normally "some" is more than one?

That's why it's sensible to wait for official confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Annie Bynnol 596 #5 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) The public have been asked by the police Not to speculate or spread unconfirmed reports. Sturgeon has just confirmed that 6 are injured including a police officer one is dead from gunshot. It is not a terrorist incident Edited June 26, 2020 by Annie Bynnol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

To be fair, the police have to investigate to see if it is a terrorist incident before deciding it isn't so if anti-terrorism officers are investigating it doesn't mean much. How the media spin that is another matter. In happier news, the Beeb are reporting that it appears the only death was that of the attackerSources had suggested two other people died at the hotel, which is currently housing asylum seekers. In fact it appears only the suspect was killed.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
