We may never know who fired the shots, but within a few seconds the police had it under contol and were just going about getting all the evidence they needed. No ambulances were at the scene and at least 3 suspect were taken away after being throughly searched.

Why waste police time - clearly nothing of importance has happened.

I walked past shortly after the event, having been booted off the bus, and it was still cordoned off. A policeman very very politely asked us to walk around Piedmont Green rather than through the crime scene, and said that shots had been fired.

I can't imagine anyone was hurt, as the road reopened five or ten minutes later.

Oh dear, so there definitely were some gun shots fired then :(

There were bangs which were assumed at the time to be gun shots - quite possibly a starting pistol - the fact that there has been so little in the news etc. suggests that this may not have been live ammuninition - when that is used the police tend to cordon off for some considerable time afterwards for forensics etc.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
