Shooting on Kirkdale
Shooting on Kirkdale
Apparently there was a shooting on Kirkdale a couple of hours ago, just by Jews Walk. Kirkdale and Jews Walk ccordoned off by police from Jews Walk. Wells Park Road open.
I have heard from someone i know that two hoodied males standing in a block on Burghill road were shooting at two men in a car. The two men in the car were shooting back and it was in braod daylight not long after children had been let out of school. My brothers friend who works for the council told him he was called to do works on Burghill following the shooting, I don't know what works it was but it had something to do bullet holes.lbere wrote:I suppose the shooting on Burghill Rd did not happen last night either?
Was this comment meant for me? if so, just wanted to assure you that i understand the meaning of your comment, it wasn't taken the wrong way-by me anyway.leenewham wrote:Again, I wasn't saying nothing happened, but questioning why it wasn't reported in the news or if there was any official version.
I can see that my comments may be taken the wrong way which I certainly don't want!
The person who told me what had happened was told by someone who supposedly witneesed it, though i don't think they reported it to the police, not sure if anyone else did, does anyone know?
I agree, lots of things go on in Sydenham that do not get mentioned in the press, which is probabaly why so many people think its such a great place to live, i think its more a case of better the devil you know myself!
It's the same with Family guy who was kind enough to warn others on here of his wifes car-jacking, people are reluctant to belive him because it wasn't in the papers! just because it wasn't reported in the papers. doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I believe that in some countries the police routinely give local publicity to all (significant?) crimes as soon as they are reported. Why don't the Met do the same and set up a website for this purpose? Then we shouldn't have to waste all this time arguing and speculating (cf. also the other thread on the carjacking in Kirkdale) and people wouldn't get unnecessarily anxious about what might turn out to be only a rumour or have got exaggerated in the telling (not that I'm suggesting that's what has happpened here). What would be wrong with a bit more transparency?

Looks like this was related to the shooting in Kirkdale last year:
