British news is so weird. Even when it doesn’t immediately identify as British news, soon into the story I can tell it is British.

Interesting that the enemedia over there is going heavy on the crossbow angle.

There’s no confirmation so far that a crossbow was used to kill any if the women.

And there’s no confirmation from authorities that the perp had or has one in his possession.

Armed police.

An official statement at the link above.

No mention of a crossbow.

Just that perp may be in possession of “a weapon”.

No mention of whether or not the perp was known to the cops, either...

Armed police are standing around a black car

I think they’ve dispensed with the lunatic

At least it seems like it. Speculation.

Know more in 15 mins (press conference)

They haven’t this time, anyway.

Not on the record.

So why’s the enemedia over there running with the crossbow angle...?

No, I know in this article the headline “screamed” British, I was just saying that even when the headline doesn’t immediately identify the weird British news as British, soon into the article I can tell, “this isn’t American news.” Not trying to get in an argument here, just commenting on how weird British news is.

Chief Superintendent :

Police called to property at 7pm last night.

Upon arrival found 3 women with injuries, all related to each other and sadly they died at the scene.

Victims were aged 25, 28 and 61.

We’re now trying to look for the suspect

We have extensive officers dedicated to this manhunt

This has been a horrific incident

If anyone see’s the suspect they must not approach him and dial 999 (911).
