Mark Connolly Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54293111 This story is pretty odd, especially with this morning's reports that the suspect was handcuffed behind his back when it happened. He has somehow managed to shoot a police officer, as well as shooting himself in the chest, in the middle of a police station, while handcuffed behind his back, with a gun which must have been hidden somewhere on his person, as they were about to conduct a search. In true ICTChris style, have any P&Bers ever shot a policeman in a police station? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true ICTChris style, have any P&Bers ever shot a policeman in a police station? No, but I did turn up at Sunhill police station which had a few police cars and what looked like plain clothes officers wandering about, looking for directions only to be told it was an ITN studio and sure enough the next day the sign was down and there was no sign of any life whatsover. Not related to the story other than it wasn't too far from Croydon, but it just reminded me of it. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I’ll just put this out there...this thread seems ideally set up for puns. On reading the story and seeing the poor boy was on the verge of retiring, only to be shot by some mad wannabe terrorist, I feel bad.

ICTChris Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The suspect was arrested for possession of drugs and ammunition, he had previously been referred to the Prevent counter terrorism programme. According to reports his hands were handcuffed behind his back and he was about to be searched with a metal detector when he managed to fire a revolver and kill Sgt Ratana. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true ICTChris style, have any P&Bers ever shot a policeman in a police station? Maybe his gun went off as they were all falling down the stairs. ETA my best attempts were the odd half hearted struggle to get put in the car. Usually resulting in banging my head of the door frame.

You mean the police would lie to cover up their negligence? No never! Of course not, don't be silly. Reading more reports on this case, it would appear the suspect had been searched and was being taken into custody because quantities of drugs and ammunition had been found on him. He hadn't undergone an intimate body search at that stage, which might explain why no gun was found. Hmmmm..... Wouldn't you have thought someone might have noticed he was walking a bit strangely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The 18 bus that took us from Firhill to Springburn once stopped at the police officer station due to the high jinks of the assorted Jags fans on the top deck. I dont think anyone entered the station and shot anyone but I was too busy running away to actually find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
