Gunman Kills 12 In Cumbria

[Troubadour]

A taxi driver went on a rampage today in the Lake District (a beautiful, rural part of England) and shot dead 12 people, injuring at least 25. He then killed himself. Shocking, and terrible. I was watching a documentary about the Hungerford Massacre only a couple of weeks ago and one of the guys said 'It's only a matter of time before something like this happens again.' It's still not something you expect to happen in a rural village in England though. The victims were just ordinary people, many elderly, going about their daily lives.

My thoughts are with the victims and their families. Very, very sad.

Awful! 12 innocent people gone all due to one man's insanity... terrible.

Another deranged mind taking innocent lives. How horrible. It is always so disturbing to hear about these kind of things. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the loved ones and friends of these victims.

This is always unbelieveable to those of us who are sane. My thoughts are with the poor victims' families.

Oh my! Another terrible tragedy. I feel so badly for everyone involved.

My husband lived and worked in Cumbria for several years, (in Whitehaven) and we have friends there.

12 dead... how awful. 25 injured... I feel for them.
