[Buckaroo]

Not any more, only attacker confirmed dead.

Why does it sound like revenge?

Ignore me everyone. I will update if I get anything solid and verifiable .

How does your earlier 'information' figure now?

Continue with uninformed (or even informed) speculation, it is the urban way

He can only conceive a slim range of motives

“Not being treated as terrorism’ according to BBC. Glad no other confirmed deaths.

on the more general topic of people being dicks at the moment, hot weather = hot tempers. Plus daytime drinking won’t help.

Well that is good news. The lest dead the better & all that. Fucking nightmare for anyone involved.

Here's the latest, speculation-free, update from the Guardian.

Six people including a police officer and two teenagers were seriously injured, and the alleged perpetrator shot dead by police, after multiple stabbings at a hotel in central Glasgow.

Police Scotland said David Whyte, a 42-year-old constable, was in a “critical but stable condition” in hospital with five other men – aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53 – seriously injured, after a lone man went on the attack shortly before 1pm at the Park Inn hotel on West George Street.

Armed officers arrived at the scene and shot the male suspect dead. The incident is thought to have taken place in the hotel’s reception area, with a receptionist thought to be among the victims, and in a stairwell. The hotel had been housing around 80 asylum seekers during the coronavirus pandemic.
