Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36550304Poor woman, what a horrible thing to happen
.I heard it on the news. It seems she may have been going about her constituency duties at the time.
I think in the criticism of MPs we often forget they are doing a public duty and that can put them in vulnerable situations...

Re: Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
Yes listening to the reports now, though its a dangerous world now and we can alol be subject to this kind of violence. It will be interesting too see if its related to her job or personal life, or just the bad luck of being in the wrong place. I hope she survives.

Re: Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
Reading the MSN report one of the witness's said "It looked like a gun from, I don't know, the First World War or a makeshift, handmade gun. It's not sort of like the kind of gun you see normally."I mean I have to ask just what kind of guns do the locals of Birstall normally walk about with then, Glocks or Hoosies I bet..

I can tell you a 52yr. old man has been caught and taken into custody, the helicopter is still hovering over where he comes from which is less than 2 miles from the village.
I can see that the police are still in the village and cameraman from different companies are actually walking past our home now.
We had just left the village for the LGI hospital where she was taken, the place is surrounded by armed police with all the armed combo gear, we were allowed to get out OK and obviously now home.
Longfellow we don't carry guns in this village members of this village have a job to carry themselves.
The damned helicopter is overhead makes hell of a noise, I will try and keep you updated from the village, but the media has it all in hand.
We have heard she was shot in the face and head and is critical, you have to feel for her young kids.
Both sides in the referendum have suspended all activities to later date, maybe the vote won't be on next week.
We can all speculate but no doubt police want to know whether this guy is a one man band or from a group.

The Britain First claim was made by another Labour MP on her twitter account.
It might be true but do hope that this fellow MP was not playing Politics over this tragedy.
