Someone stood at the bus stop said there had been a shooting in Lewes.
That was about the same time.
I don't know if its true.. You know I'm not one to gossip!

Armed police arrested a guy on the Roundabout on the A27 by Hope in the Valley, using a shotgun to stop the car. Nobody got shot and it wasn't technically in Lewes so that wasn't it.

He got knocked down. At around the same time unmarked police cars opened fire on a car near the roundabout using shotgun shells (hatton rounds, a close range blunderbuss type gun) to stop it. Nobody hurt there, but it would have been a horrror show for anyone who saw it . The two incidents are un related.

Is this why it took me 1.5 hours to get back from Brighton tonight? Nothing to do with a fire at Rottingdean or the Greens?

I did notice a bashed up silver saloon and some police at the Kingston roundabout though.

I think they might be baton rounds, Ben, aka rubber bullets.

Typical Met, coming down here clogging up our rush hour.

Hope the man who got knocked down is ok.

Bbc website carries story of guy being arrested at a27 roundabout but weirdly merges it with pictures of an unrelated fire in Rottingdean! They really need a new editor...

The BBC reported the fire as something else that added to the traffic queues. They used the photo of the house fire as part of the feature. They don't need a new editor.
