An unbelievable story coming out of the UK. Unbelievable? I wish it was unbelievable. That is, so far-fetched, it couldn't be true. A taxi driver who has never shown a hint of trouble or anti-social behaviour in the past has driven around Cumbria (where I spent many childhood holidays) shooting at people from his car. 12 are believed dead and many more badly injured. I suppose it could enter your mind, get categorised as another mad man on a massacre, and forgotten about, but reading the details coming out, it really is horrific and deeply, deeply disturbing. How the people who lost friends and family, who witnessed the carnage, are going to recover... well, some just won't. As I said, unbelievable.
(One aspect of this I will note. Divorced man with two sons. Divorced men with children have a disproportionately high suicide rate.)

It has been all over the BBC here Lindsay. Whitehaven is on the West Coast of Cumbria.
I haven't seen any updates for an hour but it seems twelve confirmed dead, unsure about injured.
