Bizarre thing - this morning the police said he had 2 hostages and now those 'hostages' have been arrested for 'conspiracy to commit murder'.
Beeb now talking to man in shop in village. They are so determined to get some action on this after missing out on the Cumbrian one.

Last night I called 999 and declared war on Northumbria police before shooting an officer on the West End A69 roundabout in his T5. Sitting there waiting to bully someone. Probably a single mum who couldn't afford her car tax.
Rang again and told them they're gonna pay for what they've done to me and Sam. I went straight but they couldn't let it go.
The public need not fear me but the police should as I won't stop till I'm dead.
On the night 3/7/10 I shot Chris Brown and Samantha Stobbart, after an argument earlier that evening, and here I will make all the facts clear so there is no misunderstanding.
They took it all from me, kids, freedom, house, then Sam and Chanel. Where could I go from there? Obviously I have issues but I was pushed. I never beat my kids. I could simply admit to anything now cos it doesn't matter.
I'm a killer and a maniac but I ain't no coward.
I was terrified of losing Sam, as I knew I'd lose the plot and that, and not wanted to do so stopped me from ever beating her and anyone saying otherwise can go on a lie detector.Now I've realised Sam is really hurt I am gutted. I never meant that.
Moat then threatens to target hospital staff if they fail to save his ex-girlfriend.
Those doctors better save her or I'll hit that hospital. I still love her despite everything but my head is a mess right now and I know I'm too far gone to make much sense of it.
I guess I've finally lost it. I'm not on the run, I will keep killing police until I am dead.
They've hunted me for years, now it's my turn.
I am very sorry about Sam and wish I hadn't shot at her. Just make sure she stays alive.
I never cheated on her, I wish she hadn't on me. She pulled the trigger by doing so just as much as me.

when the cumbria killings happened one news meme was "sleepy cumbrian countryside where this sort of thing never happens", as if elsewhere gunmen shooting at people at random was par for the course.

His Facebook messages:
Friday 11.21am Just got out the slammer to a totally fucked life.
11.32am Lost my business. Kids to s services. Gonna lose my home and lost my mrs of nearly 6 years to a copper. Like they havent fucked my life enough over the years.
11.37am Well she aint the lassy I thought she was. Cant win the kids, as police have fucked me over there too.
11.44am Mate this ones a hard knock. Its that whole rebuilding life from scratch thing. Iaint 21 anymore.
11.54am Fucking strange how someone youve spent so long and treasured can turn on you like a pitbull. If Id fucked of with someone else id feel pretty shitty and definately twist the knife etc this ones a double hard knock.
12.22pm yea when its over its all a pile of chaos. How did a guy who had it all end up in this situation.
12.30pm Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so if a lass can really love you and treat you right, then they can also swing the complete oppposite way eventually.

Suddenly realised I've been to Rothbury very recently when I went to Cragside. If he can get there, mingle with the NT visitors, have a nice cream tea, that'll probably calm him down no end.

not blaming the police for anything.. and i guess it is easy to be all 20/20 hindsight and pile on any mistakes but seriously.. i'd imagine posting a set of eyes at the mate's house would be standard practice. no doubt it's a fucking weird feeling to be a policeman up there right now though, knowing you're this guy's explicit target!

Details emerged yesterday of a 49-page letter, dated 4 July, that Moat had written to police.

Guy in our basement flat was a bouncer. At 18. Took steroids. Reinvented as tarmac dude / builder. Now reinvented as web guru. Mother is knight of the realm. Married at 22. 1 kid and another on the way. Incident pre-marriage in which now-wife assualted him in the street, spitting, swearing, speaking in tongues, scratching face etc etc. I called police, she ended up being taken away in ambulance, escaping, street fight, more police, 2am, fun fun fun.
