Something is going on in Salisbury Road with a rumour has it there has been a shooting, forensics are there at the moment. I believe armed police were on scene.
Will update if I hear anything new.

It seems someone was taken off in an ambulance, I think from they were on the pavement but that is not clear.
A police helicopter is flying around at the moment.

I live on Salisbury Road and didn't know anything until I went to pick up my youngest from her little job and there were blue flashing lights everywhere! I drove out down Albert Road to fetch her but we couldn't get back into Salisbury and have had to park a way away. What the Hell happened?

I am off to bed in a minute as I am working tomorrow but all very quiet now out. There is tape across the end of my road a couple of doors away but nothing to see, no police on hands and knees as shown on the TV shows.
Bern, I didn't realise we lived in the same road, I'm at the DGGS end, I think the road closure is just a precaution now.

I heard there was a shooting in Salisbury Rd. I don't know if its true, but it seems to be a large cordoned off area. Lets hope the girl wasn't hurt too badly and that they catch the gunman quickly

I doubt if anyone was badly hurt as there were no screaming sirens that I heard.
My daughter who lives upstairs heard the bang but thought nothing of it until the police etc arrived.

I don't know if it is connected but we have just heard that a posse of armed police have just descended on the Funky Monkey.

The rumour train is in full swing and of another incident wich I will not repeat.
Face book is rife with rumours and according to some the DGGS is closed tomorrow.
That rumour is not true and until I am told otherwise the school Will be open, according to the news just this minute it was a male that was shot.
IF the school should be closed you will hear it here first by me.

Police on hands and knees as I write, I suppose they had to come all the way from Maidstone.
Definitely off to bed now or I will never get up

News a lot quicker on here than on the BBC site. Heard lots of rumours about what's happened this evening. Best not publicise in case of further distress to those involved.

I'm only round the corner girls, I'm a dab hand at neck massages as some of the long served female forumites will tell you.
Don't worry ladies you can sleep sound tonight.
Quite right Tony.

Traffic report as seen from my drive as it's dark and I'm not dressed yet.
Looks as if Salisbury Road is closed at Frith Road end as the police tape is still there so is a car, traffic seems to be moving in Frith Road.
