Gunman kills several in Cumbria

A number of people have been killed and others injured after a gunman opened fire in several areas of west Cumbria.

Police are searching for the suspect, named as Derrick Bird, after shots were fired in Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont.

Detectives said he drove into the central Lakes in a Citroen Picasso before abandoning it in the Boot area.

People who live nearby are being urged to stay indoors for their own protection.

A force spokesman said officers are working to establish the identities of those killed and wounded.

Police were initially called after shots were fired in Duke Street, Whitehaven, at 1035 BST.

A force spokesman said: "We can confirm that a number of people have been injured after shots were fired in the Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont areas this morning.

"There are a number of fatalities and police are working to identify the individuals and inform relatives. Ambulance crews are in attendance across the area."

Anyone who sees 52-year-old Mr Bird, from Rowrah near Frizington, should contact Cumbria Police.

Eyewitness Peter Watson said he had seen a body lying in the street in Whitehaven.

"When I first got here it must have just happened. There was a man lying on the ground with police stood over him and a jacket on him," he said.

The Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in west Cumbria has also closed its gates as a safety precaution and afternoon shift workers are being told to stay away until the "risk is reduced".

BBC Look North Chief Reporter Chris Stewart said a body was still visibly lying in the street in the town.

He said helicopters had been brought in from other forces to help in the hunt for Derrick Bird.

The guy was a taxi driver.

Given the angry, hate filled folk they are, it's suprising more of them don't go in for murderous rampages.

    No group is ever more angry without reason than Taxi drivers...



    Maybe Ulster Unionists...

    Police have confirmed that 5 people are dead and 25 injured, so far. There may be more unaccounted for as he was driving around shooting people at random and there may be people in the country/farming areas who may have been shot.

    May the deceased victims RIP!
