Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

maybe the shot just fired as they jumped him and he's not dead?

why on earth would they jump him, if he had a gun. that doesn't make much good sense.

or they crowded round after he shot himself?
fuck knows

they could have jumped him if he had fallen asleep?

I'm sure we'll find out in due course. If he's been jumped on, he's presumably at least in custody, so game over anyway. I fucking hate myself for watching Sky News, btw.

I'd be surprised if they snuck up on him and killed him with a single shot unless he heard them went to fire and one shot him I suppose.

imagine it was just a police gun that fired up in the air by mistake

I think an announcement is coming.

Susan Ballantyne now ace reporter for the Beeb, who seem to have caught up. She appears not to have any idea what's going on. Everything she's said so far has started "I don't really know", so basically knows as much as the budding CSI dudes all over the internetz.

he could have just fired a shot in the air with one of his guns for all we know when he saw them sneaking up.

lol bbc report two gun shots

imagine it was just a police gun that fired up in the air by mistake

"me and the boys were celebrating on a job well done..." -chief wiggum

whatever's happened the standoff must be over

"for all we know"

ding ding ding. Ambulance on way, Beeb reporting two shots fired, appears to be over one way or the other. This speculation is doing my nut in, I'm off to my bed.

Oh, statement. He's suffered a gunshot wound. On way to hospital.

Oh, not on way to hospital. Being treated. That's the police statement, btw. has been apprehended. Good.

just been announced on sky as i read ailsa's post

press conference

Paul the Octopus says Moat will win this:

nothing about self inflicted or if he was shot by police

wtf at this statement?

yeah wtf

its just going to lead to internet rumours they botched it up

hes not even confirming the stand off is over. ffs.

Oh, and yes, from earlier, BBC 24 about 8 zillion times better than anyone that think Kay Burley is a journalist worth giving airtime to.

Right, so, well done Northumberland Police for getting their man without any police being injured. Really am off to bed now.

xpost only if people are stupid enough to start them. Like presumably assuming it's an empty ambulance heading off with a police convoy or something.

Ooh, hang on, his mate was there too. Maybe it's HIM that's hurt, not Moat or the police.

Have at it, conspiracy chaps.

Oh no, they said it was the suspect that was hurt. I need some fucking sleep, this is breaking my brain.

empty ambulance, or gazzas taxi home?

Gazza was making balloon animals but one burst, hence the 'gun shot' rumours.

gazza and the other guy get into brawl over who is Moat's real best mate. gazza glassed. police jump in. meanwhile moat ducks back into drains amidst confusion.

the eyewitness guy heard a shot then saw everyone rush towards him.

ooh, indiscernible shouting, that clears it up. This is the only reason I'm still awake (well that and a litre of coke), what's wrong with me?

Maybe they've all misheard. Paulo Wanchope's turned up to see Gazza. Not 'one shot'.

you were hoping jordan posted more results tonight

Yeah, I want to go to bed because I'm bored shitless with endless crappy speculating, but it's fascinating (the mechanics of the speculation, not the actual shite that's been spouted from all angles in absence of clear fact)

(presume I should have marked that as an xpost since it probably replies equally to the post about whichever ILM poll is being referred to above)

some footage now and you can hear 1 shot then dogs barking

it was either 'put the gun away' or 'get the dog away'

guy's had a gun in view for about six hours, nice idea to try and get him to put it away. should have thought of that earlier really.

Love the fact that Sky keep replaying that clip that starts with a guy saying "the officer's just fucked off".

Dear Kay Burley, please stop saying "Blues and twos", it is very annoying. Britain's probably most expensive manhunt. Probably. JOURNALISTIC FACTUAL ACCURACY THERE, FOLKS.

I still hate her. Back to the Beeb.

just waiting till I'm sure Lex is asleep so I can safely celebrate some indie pop...

I'm pretty sure that a couple of minutes ago a BBC person suggested that the heavy rain accelerated the ending. Wha.

lex is probably out clubbing

or are you his flatmate? lol

Kay Burley suggested earlier that it might end because the police were putting on their waterproofs and Moat was just wearing a jacket and hoodie. Despite the fact he's been hiding in a fucking drain and living rough for the best part of a week, seems exactly the sort that would give it up at the sight of a spot of bad weather.

this kay burley sounds like a right idiot, or her scriptwriters do maybe

but they said it was an overflow that was dry, the daily mail might even say it was luxurious!

if faced with a choice between getting wet and shooting yourself in the neck, I'm sure we'd all do the same.

hmm, sky now suggesting they did rush him and it wasnt after the shot.
