Reading stabbings

[Fatball]

Hope it’s not as bad as suggested on social media. Unsure if this is related to BLM on either side or terrorism.

Hours after the BLM protest ended apparently? - https://twitter.com/aesthete_cr/status/12744297316...

3 on the ground being worked on by police/paramedics on the twitter video I saw.

Looks virtually deserted and this was well over an hour ago apparently.

That’s not Forbury Gardens for a start. It’s Kings Meadow.

Yep.

That’s King’s meadow. Which is where the ambulances landed.

ETA- sorry didn’t see someone else already said this.

Telegraph reporting 3 deaths and two in hospital with very little in the way of official confirmation.

TVP saying they arrested a man at the scene.

Worrying.

[bigandclever]

This is just a story, but last night I had the police round looking for someone who had gone missing. “He has mental issues, probably best not to approach” and all that. Still wanted to have a look in the garden, and the police helicopter was up for a couple of hours.
Edit, I live in central Reading, to give some context.

Time for a white lives matter movement?

Some pretty graphic videos available on twitter.

Jumping the gun a bit?
No confirmation of their involvement yet

That's a bit quick off the mark there mate. Yes the people on the floor were white but that does not mean anything yet.


It could be another white lunatic on a stabbing spree, it could be a terrorist attack of some kind, or it could be related to something else.

lets get the facts before we jump in head first eh.

You're an idiot.

Please refrain from speculating until we know what's going on.

Thank you

BBC changed just headline from several dead to several injured.

Some sky sources saying police confirm terror related but nothing from police yet.
