Breaking: Hostages taken in Cork. Armed RSU and negotiators present.

Musketeer4

I'm after hearing that there is an unfolding hostage crisis in the north side.
People are being held hostage somewhere up there. The armed RSU and Garda negotiation experts are on site trying to resolve the crisis. Is anyone up that side of the city that knows what's going on? If the RSU are there I can only assume that people are being held at gun point. I don't know yet what the motive is or what the demands, if any, are.
I'm just speculating but could it be islamic terror related, republican activity related, or some Irish water protest stunt?

Hostage Crisis!

Seems to have ended.
Perpetrator has surrendered to police & the house occupants have been taken for treatment of minor injuries.

Seems at first glance to be a burglary/home invasion attempt?

Garda RSU moved in on the house this morning. The hostages were extracted from the house and whisked to hospital for treatment of their injuries. Two male hostage takers were extricated from the house and were removed for questioning.

This thread is like an episode of Homeland.

I don't think we have much choice but to go to war now. We cannot stand idly by while we have the opportunity to get involved in an exciting big war.

Jesus lad, step away from the drama there. Put down your Daily Mail and turn off Fox News.

The imagination is strong in this one.

It's been over 24 hours - is Cork still on Amber alert?

Mod note: locking this thread as no serious discussion going on and a lot of guess work/ exaggeration going on also. Here's the truth for people
