At least one fatality.

I've deleted the video. On reflection, showing a dead person isn't a good idea.

Jesus, I was out in the back garden and heard a helicopter thinking I bet that's the copper chopper again.

[MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] Deleted it before you posted. The intent was to show the seriousness of the situation, but I came to the same conclusion as you.

But you've kept it up by quoting, so please delete your part.

The latest is multiple fatalities rather than multiple shooting.
The gunman has been shot dead, by Police or himself.
I will keep any thoughts until details come out to myself but I will just say that it is shocking when it happens just 10 minutes down the road but I am not entirely surprised.

Not being treated as terror related, according to Sky. Either way, this does sound pretty horrific.

Because terrorism is in pursuit of political, religious or ideological aims.

It seems he was an Incel (there is Youtube evidence) who had a problem with women.

I just saw that - seems like it falls into 'ideology' territory?

Because he’s white.

If the attack is because he’s an incel then it’s due to ideological aims. He’s a terrorist.
