Police storm farm in gunman hunt

Police storm farm in gunman hunt

news.bbc.co.uk

Armed officers searching for suspected gunman Raoul Moat have stormed disused farm buildings in a Northumberland village.

An exclusion zone was set up in the area after a black Lexus believed to be used by him was found in Rothbury.

The public has been warned that Moat is still at large and people should stay indoors.

The 37-year-old has been on the run since allegedly shooting three people, one fatally, over the weekend.

Just weeks after Derrick Bird went on a rampage through my home county of Cumbria shooting dead 12 people, another madman is on a rampage through a neighbouring county after shooting two people (killing one) and wounding a police officer.

He has declared war on the police, but insists members of the public have nothing to fear.

I am watching the hunt live on BBC News now. Will let you all know the outcome (although that is pretty obvious)

What the hell is going on up here in the north of England, it's gone mad!!

They have found his car and set up a 2 mile exclusion zone and 5000ft no fly zone??? Probably to keep the press copters out of the way.

Two men have been arrested on conspiracy to commit murder, i think they were believed to be hostages originally. But the main geezer is still on the loose.
