dandydunn Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It’s been reported of folk being stabbed in a hotel/people shot/police stabbed, but nothing concrete. Whatever it is though, it’s not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 3 dead and suspect shot is current update. https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/west-george-street-incident-live-18494009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Park Inn on West George Street apparently. Wouldn't have been any paying guests there obviously. Some suggestion that it might have been used to temporarily house the homeless but I'm not sure if that's true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I've been hearing that riot police have been deployed and it's being treated as a suspected terrorist incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-53195939 I'm assuming that bloke in the jeans is actually a cop not some heavily armed random who happened to turn up. Sounds like either and argument between asylum seekers / refugees in the hotel or a right wing terror attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The fact that the polis have actually shot someone dead suggests it was more than just some bam with a knife. They could easily overpower one person without shooting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does suggest it's a bit more than a fight that's gotten out of hand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Is there any need for terrorist to be in the title? We don't know anything about this at the moment, what the motivation or circumstances were, get it removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out to be a right wing attack, I'm sure you'll be totally comfortable with him being described as a loner with a history of mental illness.

The cop with the taser was stabbed repeatedly That's what I'd do. It's rare, very rare, that you hear of police in Scotland shooting people. It'll become clearer over the course of time, but at the moment there's just something about this that feels different to the usual jakey/junkie/bam Glasgow violence.

Totally agree - unless it's someone off their tits on crystal-meth or something - not that I'm suggesting that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The Hotel is currently being used to accommodate refugee/asylum seeking homeless people during the covid-19 crisis. some of them would of been supported in to temp accommodation until permanent housing was sourced/offered.
