Not sure what's going on, not hitting TV news channels yet but seems something is going off. I have seen mention of drugs so perhaps not jumping to conclusions right now is sensible.

Sounds nasty from what I've read. :mad:

Despite what you said, I am going to jump to my own conclusions but I'm just not going to post them as they'll get insta-deleted.

Well nobody holding back on the Twitter feed i see though...............

I'm not sure it is good to speculate yet with no information, the London attack was a bit different as the initial information did give quite an obvious indication - though it is clearly against forum guidelines as some of us found out. There was also an attempted driving attack on the continent too which was fortunately stopped.

In this case a 'shooting' with no further info could just as easily be gang related as anything else.

Too many crazies in this world.

Housey · 24 Mar 2017 at 22:27

My point is more about the nature of the shooting, drugs or terror. If terror then my conclusions even without evidence would be as most but not convinced this is a terror attack.

one victim is a 14 year old boy its been reported although only shot in the leg.

Yea I suspect it's not what Twitter made is sound. Who'd have thought...

Ganster gunman.

This twitter account broke the 'news' nearly an hour ago, yet can't see anything from the beebs.

Oh FFS

Quartz · 24 Mar 2017 at 22:55

Nothing on BBC, Telegraph, or Guardian.

If it's somewhere like lille or toulouse I wouldn't be surprised if it's gang related.

diamount · 24 Mar 2017 at 23:01

Lille seems to have the highest crime levels in France, which is probably why it's barely being reported outside it.

Send them back, unbirth them! Etc

Unless you're holidaying there, this news story has no bearing to international audiences.

Yeah - I was surprised to find people running around shooting AK47s in certain parts isn't entirely unusual - but entirely gang related.
