gun shots may or not have been heard somewhere unspecified. But it wasn't a firework, allegedly

[eclectic]

am in the vicinity of underhill road, helicopter overhead and just heard possibly a gun shot, definitely wasnt a firework, want to think it was a car backfiring and now police sirens!

Is Rosie on holiday, Katie?

[katie1997]

I'm doing the morning shift, Rosie's on afternoons and northlondoner is doing the evenings.

[JessieW]

I heard it and I was pretty sure it was a firework?

[Glutenberg]

Is there really any need for this kind of uninformed scaremongering?!

The confirmed crime is bad enough, never mind the 'possible.'

I heard some 'possible' masked raiders terrorising my street last night..... but turns out it was just a guy delivering chinese on a moped.

[Alan Medic]

Isn't 'shots' plural? Was that for effect? No one would read the thread if it was just a single shot would they?

[Willard]

How do you know it was definitely not a firework?

This time of year is when fireworks go on sale. When lived down the road in Camberwell kids would be letting off bangers from mid September to mid November....

Absolutely no facts are being discussed here. No one KNOWS anything. Utterly pointless.

You might as well shut down this forum, and indeed all forums then David. Think of it as if you are down the pub with friends or colleagues, a lot of the conversation won?t be purely based on fact (and how boring would it be if it was!) I can quite easily imagine a conversation where someone says;

?did you hear that bang last night, sounded like a gunshot?

?yeah I heard it too and a helicopter overhead, I wonder what was going on?

?Gang related no doubt?

Brilliant DC - at last the tag lines we've been looking for...

I think they should be promoted as banner headlines for the EDF. But maybe we could get some famous residents to endorse them -

"Absolutely no facts are being discussed here." (That Bloke off Cold Feet)

"No one KNOWS anything." (Jo Brand)

"Utterly pointless." (Andy Coulson)

Kids seem to have changed - all playing PS3 and XBox

Ran round Peckham Rye and there's at least a million conkers lying around.

In my day they'd all be gone.

I DID see the helicopter last night as I walked home from the bus stop at around 9.11 and 30 seconds. It had a little red light underneath it. If that's any help? I didn't hear any gunshot(s) or fireworks though... :))

[Dee Woffaz]

Sounded a bit like a RPG to me, no return fire though, hands up all those who didnt get shot!

[Alan Medic]

We'll take that as a fact Ms.Katie. You can go now but we may be in touch.

[katie1997]

Thank you, Mr Medic.

Also, to avoid any confusion, it was the helicopter that had a little red light underneath it. Not the bus stop. (In East Dulwich).

Gang activity. Sorry I'm late. Traffic. Everyone distracted by some bloody helicopter.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I heard a low rumbling noise on Heber Road which may have been the sound of armoured vehicles driven by paramilitary gangs. Or it may have been my washing machine, I can't be sure.

[mrcee]

I will confess, i shot the sheriff but i didnt shoot tbe deputy

[the-e-dealer]

It was Tanks I'm sure

[Salsaboy]

Tanks for that.

[Dee Woffaz]

More likely to be Yanks, esecially if its friendly fire............
