Major Incident in Nottingham - 13th June 2023

[ElizabethofYork]

No details at present - anyone know what's happening?

Loads of roads closed, apparently.

I heard all the sirens going off and saw multiple emergency services flying in all directions about 90 minutes ago. My guess is a bomb threat but nobody knows anything yet.

 

[savoloysam]

Rumours are going around saying somebody is on the rampage doing multiple stabbings but it just a rumour atm.

Oh bloody hell

Fingers crossed for everyone there.

ETA =-Ahh aparently that happened yesterday

 

[Jeremiah18.17]

Appears to be multiple areas cordoned off so not a single incident but some kind of “spree”…

 

[savoloysam]

maybe tram derailment

It's much bigger than that trust me.

I'm getting ready for work with BBC Notts in the background.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

yes - the tram incident was yesterday, and apparently a lightning strike on the overhead power line.

a tram derailment / accident would not generally need a response from armed police units...

The only thing looking at Twitter for information has confirmed is that there are a fuck of a lot of racists on Twitter

I love local radio.

Son Q works in the middle of Nottingham, the instant she got to school Mrs Q phoned him convinced that he was caught up in whatever this is. Apparently they have locked the doors of the block where he works and have banned everyone from going outside. No-one is doing any work though. They are peering out of windows and the roof is packed with rubberneckers. He has no more idea what is going on than anyone else though it is apparently very quiet with no traffic.

 

[savoloysam]

As per usual I was up early and the sirens started blaring out at 5am approximately.

Some of the replies to that tweet, urgh.

I find tweets like those make it easy to go on a blocking spree.

Someone on Sky News just got cut off for saying what went on. He was saying a car ran into a bunch of people, driver got out and starting stabbing people, 4 dead according to him. Kay Burley cut him off though. Why all this secrecy?

 

[savoloysam]

I live in Nottingham City centre but I can't be arsed to go out "rubber necking"

They are firefighters in their ballistic protection. They can work in the 'warm zone' of a firearms job, which means somewhere there may be a person with a gun. So probably responding to an active shooter incident. (Active shooter doctrine is used for any ongoing threats to life issue, not necessarily one where the subject(s) has/have a gun, could be knives or cars etc. )

Trying not scare the public too much. You can still walk around the edge of the city. Nobody is being told to stay indoors or anything.

Although I realise by not trying to scare the public that they are scaring the public.

you do; they don't

Lotsa tweets now saying the same as that guy on Sky

 

[equationgirl]

Judging by the looks on some of the firefighters' faces, something pretty horrific has gone down. I truly hope everyone is ok.

Because the emergency services don't like to speculate in fluid unclear situations, because otherwise, at best, people bang on afterwards about how they put out the wrong information, or another conspiraloon theory gets born and at worst the public make wrong decisions based on guess work and people die .

Police statement saying a man has been arrested after three people were found dead in the early hours of the morning. On BBC news just now.
