Chelsea siege
"A gunman has been killed!" I read out, suprised, the ticker tape news summary on BBC.
"Good!" replied G.
The summary says, "A gunman has been killed following a stand-off with police in Chlesea, West London. Armed police storm building after shootout." When I followed the incident earlier, they were still talking about a negotiator being on the scene, after gunshots were reported fired near Markham Square, which is close by to Kings Road (is a favourite shopping street to London's rich and famous while the area has dozens of million-pound plus homes).
"Officers were called at 4.50pm on Tuesday after reports of gunshots. They were shot at and returned fire. So far there are no reported injuries and no-one has been arrested. One eyewitness said there was an argument between a man and a woman before the shooting started. Sky News reported a distressed woman was heard claiming the gunman is her ex-boyfriend who is licensed to own four different types of guns." [Source: Press Association]
