Anyone been following this? its fking awful. Tried to get into work yesterday and everything was cordoned off, finally got in to work and found out what was going on frown i work across the carpark from where it happened. Its really horrible here, police everywhere, fking news reporters( i dont like things like this being filmed where they are trying every which way to get a story, really bugs me, almost as much as people taken photos and videos with camera phones at accident sites and crime scenes)
It feels so strange, the group of units we all have we would like to say we are a pretty tight knit community here. One of those communities where if we need something done its always mates rates etc, the place has a horrible vibe about it now. Knowing the full story of what went on there aswell, its just gobsmacking, like something you would only see and hear about in films....
Its really awful how something like this could happen here of all places, this is one of the best industrial sites i have been, everyone says hello, have a chat with everyone, and to have this happen has been an uncomprehendable blow. This is one of those places where everyone gets on with each other, didnt know the people on a personal level, but because we are so close knit here, it feels sorta like family
Sorry for this being like a 9 year olds essay with so many words repeated, but i just dont have the vocabulary to put it in writing

I must have driven past just before it happended, then everything blocked off on the way home.

Police and TV cameras were there this morning too.

Does anyone know if it was a robbery, seems an odd place to rob ?

I work there, the guy that raised the alarm is a friend of ours, he told my old man what has happened up there, i know and a few others know the true atrocity that went on in there. but that will come out when the police release the details, i dont want to release the details on an open forum.

My nurse knew the guy who got shot quite well. He was/is her next door neighbour! Police have been interviewing her. Reporters have been harrassing her.

The poor guy wasn't actually shot, I'm sure the full details will be released at some point.
