'Incident' on Pilgrimage Street. 31 Oct afternoon

On way home down Long Lane a and big crowd of people hanging were around Pilgrimage Street. Street cordoned off from long Lane to just past shop/maniciple street. Police and ambulance in attendance.

Asked police officer what had happened and all she would say was that there had been an incident and someone has been hurt. Police desperately trying to clear crowds of spectators.

Stabbing?

Woops pressed send too soon.

Should say Air ambulance also attended so guessing whatever occurred In the convenience store was serious? :-(

If the police were anxious to disperse crowds, why bother them with questions about what happened, and then indulge in speculation on here? Just wondering...

How awful. My thoughts are with the victim's family.

Terribly sad news, and yes thoughts with the family.

because I was passing and wanted to know what had happened in my neighbourhood , I didn't linger and this particular officer was not engaged in any crowd movement.
Speculation? Indulge? Just wondered if anyone had any further information on what had taken place in my neighbourhood. You clearly don't


It's awful news to hear it was fatal. Thoughts with the young man's family and loved ones.

Oh my Lord, 18? How very sad, whatever the circumstances..

janefs - I'd want to know what happened just down the road from where I lived too!

There is nothing in the world that justifies this.

awful. Thoughts to the family.
