The dead man was believed to have been a naval officer serving on the state-of-the art submarine, which is currently docked in Southampton. Officers arrested a man after the shooting but said the incident was not terror-related and there was no risk to the public

The article also said that the local mayor and others were aboard doing a tour. Could it have been a disgruntled local?

Since they didn’t say who the shooter was yet...only speculation.

This is clearly a false report. There’s no gun crime in Britain: They have gun control. /sarc

You’re both wrong. They were arguing about whether port is right or left.

The title makes it sound like he died BECAUSE it was a nuke sub.

Are there any diesel subs anymore? I thought they all were nukes (At least the USN’s are).

Anyone find the contradictory humor in a shooting on board a nuclear submarine called Astute? Besides me of course....

My prediction: the dead guys name was Mohammed. So of course it wasn’t terror-related.

They seemed to go out of their way about three times to state that this is not a terrorist incident. Doth thou protest too much?

“Officers arrested a man after the shooting but said the incident was not terror-related and there was no risk to the public.”

So it’s a situation that involves lead poisoning rather than radiation poisoning?
