Terror on the byways of Cumbria

Last week, a seemingly well regarded member of the West Cumbrian community took the lives of 12 innocent people before killing himself during one of the most violent and random shooting incidents the country has ever experienced.  Like many others, I have friends living and working in the area and was unsettled until I knew they were safe.  Thankfully, the incident lasted for just a few hours but how utterly terrifying it must have been for those who experienced or witnessed the indiscriminate gunfire. For them and those whose loved ones never returned home, the impact will last a lifetime
