En gutt på 15 år ble skutt på vei til skolen foran øynene på sjokkerte medelever. Den mistenkte gjerningsmannen gjemte seg i en hage. Gjerningsmannen stakk av før politiet kom til stedet, men ble funnet og arrestert i Ipswich omtrent en mil unna åstedet. Det skal være en annen tenåring, ifølge mediene. Det er uklart hvor hardt skadet det skutte 15-åringen er. Han ble fløyet med helikopter til sykehuset.

Police investigating a shooting in the Grange Farm area of Kesgrave this morning have made an arrest in connection with the incident.

Rektor ved Kesgrave High School, Julia Upton, sendte en melding til foreldrene:

“We have been made aware by the police that there has been a serious incident involving one of our Year 11 students on their way to school. Students in school are safe and we are managing the situation in constant close communication with the police. Students are to remain in school, and will be kept safe in liaison with police.»

Den lokale pubeieren, Debbie, sier at dette var en uvanlig hendelse i denne bydelen:

«There are parts of the town that have problems but not Kesgrave. This is a caring community where people look after each other.»

Det var mange i nærheten som hørte skuddet. Et øyevitne fortalte BBC at han hørte «et skudd og deretter et høyt skrik».

«It sounded like scaffolding falling down originally because it was a big, big crash,» sa han. «I saw them working on the young lad over on the green; he was over there for quite a while while they were attending to him, a lot of ambulance staff and paramedics working on him.»
