5 yr old girl & 35 yr old man shot in Stockwell

[wemakeyousoundb]

Not much news so far.
Critical condition at the moment.
Maybe someone at one of the quizzes knows more as it happened next to the queen apparently.

The main road outside my flat has been cordoned off all night, still loads of coppers there now doing the forensics.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Blimey. Glad I moved.

 

[gabi]

that would explain the police cordon outside the queens head last night. fucking shit fuck. sick of this shit.

 

[Rushy]

Just mentioned on R4 news.

 

[colacubes]

I was at the Queens and at some point in the evening there were a shit load of cops and cars outside. Road was taped off from the next road up towards Stockwell to outside Brixton cycles so must have been in one of those shops. Someone asked one of the coppers what had happened and they said 5 year old girl shot. Myself and others thought this must be bullshit. Was monumentally depressed when I just heard it on the news

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Sounds like a similar situation to the family a few doors away from me. Out for the day, went into a shop on the way home, suddenly a gunfight starts on the street, spills into shop, son killed I really hope this child survives and without long-term harm.

 

[Rushy]

From Guardian:

"A worker at a nearby shop said he heard that a group of youths on bicycles had been involved in a row with a man at the shop. Shots were fired and the girl was hit accidentally.

Parents outside Stockwell primary school said they heard youths had returned and fired shots after they were banned from the shop."

 

[RaverDrew]

A mate was in the shop when it happened

 

[editor]

FFS: I hope the junior psychopaths responsible get banged up and quickly for the sake of the general public.

 

[Voley]

Christ.

My first thought that the only people so fucking stupid to do this would be kids

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

it does seem to be all a bit crazy at the moment some guy was stabbed just outside my door last week. looks like it's the kids from my road kicking off with a bunch of kids from the estate. big fight week before then a follow up stabbing

cheery

 

[Giles]

Completely fuxated behaviour all round.

What is wrong with these people's brains that they resort to shooting people over the most trivial issues?

They seem to lack any kind of "impulse control" and have no ability to think further ahead than the next 30 seconds.

I hope this little kid (and the poor shopkeeper, if that's who the bloke is) are OK.

Giles..

 

[Winot]

Fucking fuck.

Good on Barney at Brixton Cycles though for emphasising the positive aspects of the area (on BBC report).

 

[Mrs Magpie]

A lot of teenagers behave in that way every now and then. It's a teenage thing and happens before the brain matures. Luckily the vast majority of teenagers don't have guns. This isn't really about the lack of foresight of teenagers, it's about how cheap and easy it is to get guns.

I dunno, I think even the vast majority of teenagers in Stockwell wouldnt think about ever behaving like this - the problem is a small number of individuals who want to, or rather feel entitled to, act in a certain way in order to conform to a certain set of particularly idiotic standards. You would hope that those who know the people responsible would take this chance to do something about it and turn them in.

We got home from holiday on Monday to a leaflet through the door saying there'd been a shooting incident on Chaucer Road last Monday - in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon. It's all a bit depressing.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Report on it on ITV1 at 1.55pm

 

[past caring]

Crimewatch outside the advice centre filming for their slot (the Chaucer Road one, I take it) when I arrived for work this morning.

Giles..

Lack of impulse control and lack of empathy can be caused by abuse and neglect in early infancy.

I saw two TV crews in Brixton today - one at the end our our road, and the other at the end of Bob Marley Way, opposite Kellett Road. I assumed it was a Brixton Riots anniversary thing, but maybe not?

 

[past caring]

The one outside was definitely Crimewatch - recognised the presenter.

Maybe an ITV crew. News at 1.55pm

Would be weird as it's not really close to where the shooting happened.

 

[EastEnder]

Gang war probe after girl, five, shot in Stockwell shop

That's my local corner shop!

 

[kittyP]

It was all corndoned off when we came out the Queens Head last night.
It seemed reasonably calm by 11 so I thought it might not have been that bad

 

[girasol]

this is on my route to work, yes EastEnder, I cycle past your window a couple of times a week and do a mental wave at you...

I don't even know what to say to this though, it's just insane going on a shooting rampage because you get barred from a shop? There's no justification for it.

These guys are strutting around with egos the size of a planet, and interpret anyone not letting them do exactly what they want as an "insult" worthy of savage animal violent reprisal.

Sooner they are caged the better for everyone's sake.

[girasol]

It's really sad that humans are capable of this kind of reasoning, something is seriously broken... How much hatred for other people must they have? And for themselves too.
