It all sounds like the work of a lone wolf madman. Perhaps I could be wrong because when I watched some of the coverage a while ago on the news I seem to remember them saying that the three dead were all known to each other. Will have to wait until further news emerges.

I've been watching it on the news this morning. They're being very careful not to label it a terror attack (although I would argue that anyone doing this is hell bent on causing terror!) Another 6 families in absolute shock and pain today. What is the world coming to?

Surely 4am isn’t likely to be a terrorist incident. Drug related more likely I imagine.

They interviewed a local woman on Sky TV. She said she was woken by the sound of police sirens but did not dare to go out for a bit. This would be my reaction if I heard any unusual sound (especially sounds of violence) late night/early am. Im one elderly person so I have to look after myself. I would look at the cctv. If I could see other people outside then I might then venture out to see what it was all about.

I suppose that’s because he’s already in police custody karmalady. The police appear to have said that they’ve taken a 31 year old man into custody.

They were quick to know he is 31

How awful, those poor people. Hope they lock him up permanently. What on Earth would make someone be so evil?

It all happened around 4am I believe and at 3 different venues.

31 year-old man arrested. Three dead, plus 3 more being treated for injuries having been hit by a white van. No further info released yet.

DS sent us the shocking news. He lives there. Don't know yet if it's terrorism, gangland or lone madman.

Just that. Sadly three people killed and one man arrested.
