if the witness reports are correct aint Karma a bee iatch ?...

as always the police are asking for info....yet not even a rough description of the people involved , even though "witnesses" saw at least one of them...who knew..

I know this area well unfortunately, im pretty sure I could make a pretty accurate guess as to the "type" of people involved

[Gromit]

Obviously the type of people you are thinking are involve are not White people.
Just assuming you are right. What does that matter ?

Someone has died, and the culprit needs to be found and brought to justice.

The Police will arrest them, and charge them. No one gets a pass because they are black (or white).

According to the headline,
Lewisham shooting: Man dies after accidentally shooting himself, say witnesses
and
A shopkeeper on the high street said that he and his colleague had also heard the victim had accidentally shot himself.

[THECORBYLOON]

The report says a bullet bounced off a car window which I thought was odd. It also says the dead man was hitting a car's windows with the back of his gun when it went off and shot him.

That later version makes more sense.

[Mamyalynne]

There's clearly a reason the intended victim/s have fled, that's why they need info.

[Theland]

A well spent bullet.

//I know this area well unfortunately, im pretty sure I could make a pretty accurate guess as to the "type" of people involved//

Judging from the report, incredibly stupid people were involved.

[webbo3]

Don't they say there's a bullet somewhere with your name on it, I bet he never thought it was in his own gun.

[anotheoldgit]

It is most important that peopleare identified as much as possible be them white, black, Asian or Eastern European.

It is by this that the police can identify if there is a particular on going problem within a certain community group.

[fiction-factory]

The police will know, AOG. And we always find out in due course.

// A well spent bullet. //

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, as the man in question is dead and there is a body, I think it safe to say the police know the colour of his skin.

[dannyk13]

If he had a shotgun, as one witness said, he would not have been hit by a bullet, shotguns fire pellets.

Gromit, how do you assume the people involved are not white just on TCL post ?

[douglas9401]

Breaking news: Victim named locally as one Rick O'Shea.

"Gromit, how do you assume the people involved are not white just on TCL post ?"

if you had any nous youd be assuming the same.....

[Mamyalynne]

Anne, this poster is not 'TCL'.

[anneasquith]

My apology. Question still stands .

[Baldric]

Read the link, the man shot himself.

[andy-hughes]

Baldric - // Read the link, the man shot himself. //

It appears as though the gun went off accidentally, so he did not shoot himself - that requires intent.
