3 months agoMan arrested as two women stabbed in Co Down
A violent attack in Downpatrick left two women injured; a suspect has been arrested for attempted murder.
It was unfortunate that yesterday's meeting escalated the way it did when people were there simply to make their voices heard. Public input is an essential part of an accessible, accountable local government and as elected officials we should encourage all residents to exercise their right to participate.
"It was a failure because I had not foreseen. That was a mistake on my part. I was led astray by my preconceptions. The scapegoat was easy to find, and I apologise now to Liverpool supporters."
The suspectâs refusal to communicate with police prompted the deployment of SWAT, who tried negotiations and utilized less-lethal tactics like CS gas to resolve the situation.
"Swift work by Harlow Town Centre Team officers saw a 49-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of shop theft. They responded quickly to a report that a woman had stolen perfume from TK Maxx in the Water Gardens."
The police responded to what they described as an active threat at a hospital in York County, Pa., on Saturday. The threat at UPMC Memorial hospital has been neutralized and an investigation is underway.
