Batley MP Jo Cox killed in shooting
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...e=news_central

Only just breaking so no real details on the BBC yet

Quote:
An MP is in a critical condition after suffering serious injuries in an apparent shooting and stabbing attack in her constituency.

Unconfirmed reports suggest Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was shot and stabbed. A man also suffered slight injuries.

A 52-year-old man was arrested near Market Street, Birstall, West Yorkshire Police said.

The MP was taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary.

Armed police are outside the hospital.

It is understood the MP was holding a surgery at Birstall Library before the attack.

An eyewitness said the 41-year-old mother of two was left lying and bleeding on the pavement after the incident.

Eyewitness Hithem Ben Abdallah, 56, was in a cafe next door to the library shortly after 1pm when he heard screaming and went outside.

"There was a guy who was being very brave and another guy with a white baseball cap who he was trying to control and the man in the baseball cap suddenly pulled a gun from his bag".

After a brief scuffle, he said the man stepped back and the MP became involved.

Couldn't we just sort out the country's problems?

What a cowardly piece of filth this is. To turn up a woman's MP surgery and shoot and stab her. Hope they get him alive and he spends his entire life in jail.

Actually if you would read the news she wasn't actually the target, she was caught in the crossfire

Critical condition - not good at all , at least they have arrested a man.

ThriceShy 16-06-2016 01:55 PM
Witness says she was stabbed, then kicked while on the ground and then shot twice!

What kind of utter twat would do that?

"There was a guy who was being very brave and another guy with a white baseball cap who he was trying to control and the man in the baseball cap suddenly pulled a gun from his bag".

After a brief scuffle, he said the man stepped back and the MP became involved.

Mr Abdallah said the weapon had "looked handmade" and a man who had been wrestling with the gunman continued even after seeing the gun.

He said: "The man stepped back with the gun and fired it and then he fired a second shot, as he was firing he was looking down at the ground."

I knew it was targeted at the MP. It was too much of a coincidence.


I have suspected for a while there would be an incident aimed at derailing the Brexit campaign and it looks like this is it.

That can't be true. She was shot and stabbed and kicked.
