No kidding. Everyone is locked in the building, the whole road cordened off, armed police everywhere.
Apparently some nutter fired upon a couple of police officers. Looks like half the City of London police are outside. Helicopter overhead. One of the police snipers requested access to clientco's roof.
By Southwark station - checking the Beeb for coverage now.
UR sure.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
Funny how the police are so tough when confronted with unarmed individuals (or those carrying chair legs) but when a real gunman shows up they all chicken out. Classic. Wouldn't be surprised if the clowns shot each other.

My feelings exactly.

The Cut is not a bar - it's a street. The shots were outside Southwark Station and the man ran down The Cut to escape. He was on a bicycle, police recognised him, and he pulled a gun out and shot at the officers.
