    over a half hour since that post was published - still no word on the big news channels - sounds fake. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.. But looks fake.

    Looks like another Terror attack.

    Let's not speculate on the cause of the culprits. It could be anybody. Basque Separatists, ANTIFA, IRA, Buddhist Supremacists, it could be anybody.

    There is a weird element of perverse satisfaction in some of these posts.

    Keep refreshing your feed until the identity of the offenders are confirmed.

    Three injured as far as I can see, the shooting was at a railway station.

    An argument that ended in gunfire apparently and not terror related

    Googling it and there's only the sun, mirror and express. The oldest story is 43 minutes old. It's weird. The more reputable outlets could just be waiting till the have more facts.

    The telegraph have it now. No further details though

    I'm going by reports on Twitter of it being possibly drug related. Maybe that isn't reliable either but I'm sure if it was a deliberate attack we would know about it by now

    The Daily Mail (not famous for under-reporting a drama) describes the protagonist as a "gangster"
    Terror alert in Lille as 'gangster' gunman shoots three people outside a Metro station 'to settle scores' as the French city is put in lockdown by armed police just ...

    Hmm.. Fair point.. Sources are still important to some... But after an hour and nothing from big news channels? no. Not possible

    The express and sun are quite right wing and sensesational - i wouldn't wipe your arse with those rags

    According to the daily mail, it was a "gangster settling scores". They still lead with "terror alert in Lille" though lol

    According to French media and my limited French, looks like criminals got into a fight due to using smaller weapons.

    One 14 year old shot in the leg and another person shot in the neck. Person who got shot in the neck was sent to hospital so may make it.

    Might be worthwhile giving all these 'mass attack' threads their own forum considering how common they're becoming.

    Don't worry, you can just keep assuming it is who you want it to be every time and then claim you're a genius when you somehow manage to guess it right one time.

    Oh, I don't know.

    That rage has to go somewhere when it's denied it's usual outage, there's a fair chance that raised blood pressure will result in retumescing followed by the 'fists of fury'.

    Next time put in criminals and you might be right
