Four injured in street shootings
« on: September 26, 2007, 06:58:05 AM »
This stuff is hidden away on the news pages now ? it barely gets a mention?  noooo:

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Four people, including two boys aged 12 and 15, have been shot in two separate incidents in Greater Manchester.
 
The boys were hit in the leg in Lloyd Street, Fallowfield, at about 2315 BST. They were treated in hospital and have been discharged.

In an unconnected incident, two men, aged 19 and 25, received neck injuries as they sat in a car as a gunman opened fire in Orme Street, Oldham.

The older man is awaiting surgery at Tameside Hospital.

The 19-year-old man suffered minor injuries.

It has been on every newscast on Radio Four since the small hours of this morning.
Anyway they haven't been "shot"  NOTE the comment "Treated in hospital and released".
We are probably talking air pistols here ~ not FIREARMS.
Manchester is not full of AK47 waving loonies ...... Loonies they have aplenty ~ but real firearms .... not that many.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
