But hey, Shameless is starting ....

Oh no now the foxes are out, and I've just heard something that sounded like a shot (but was probably a parking car running over a plastic bottle or something) .....

Seems to have moved - I can hear it faintly in the distance .....

Well I just went outside to have a look and it appeared to pass over my road (Ulverscroft), but there's no sign or sound of anything going on nearby ......

Helicopter going over still - any sign of machine gun armed police? EDmummy - were either of these two (threatener and threatenee) living in the vicinity, or just happened to be there when the incident happened?

Well it's very loud over Ulverscroft Road :) Just coming over again now .....

Oh no there's another helicopter overhead :))

Yes I heard the helicopter, I never doubted that as I heard it myself. Anyway, I don't think it's very fruitful to continue this discussion on this thread. My position is still that I will believe this when it's confirmed by an official source or by someone I know and trust, but really that is of no interest to anyone else. So if you want to continue telling me that I should believe it, please PM me, thanks.

And I didn't see or hear a thing. I'm not saying "it didn't take place". If you read my posts you will see that. And I'm not insulting anyone. I just don't believe everything I read on this forum posted by people I don't know without some form of supportive evidence, particularly when it includes detail like a load of plain clothes police still wearing their police caps. Sorry but I don't find that very credible. If someone I knew and trusted had seen this incident and told me about it, then of course that would be different.

If I hear from an official source that this story is true, then I will believe it. Until then, some of the details that have been given on this thread cause me to doubt it. OK? Just because several posters have described something doesn't make it true. People make up all sorts of things, for all sorts of reasons, and other people go along with them, for all sorts of reasons.
