I heard a lot of house alarms going off in the night, my son heard something too.......we thought it might be an earth tremor or something until this morning when it emerged there had been an incident involving guns. It's scary to think this was all going on just a few minutes away from our house!

I'm fairly certain the authorities are probably all ready aware of this considering that they have been investigating intelligence reports for the last 6 months appartently.

I'm not seeing the need for great secrecy on the location of this incident.  I'm fairly certain the location will come out at one or all of the next meetings of the Area Commitee, Marple Civic Society or the Marple Business Forum.  And it will probably be in the next edition of the Marple Reveiw and possibly one of the Stockport papers.

I have a friend who is a local policeman who was on duty that night  He stated that if guns  had  been involved the the armed unit (something like that) would have been sent out and on that night they were not sent out to Marple or any surrounding area.   So i am not sure what this review  is about??

Nothing new with guns in Marple, in about 93-94 there was an incident at the bowling green, that even made the national press.

Actually the incident wasn't at the Bowling Green. A known drug dealer was shot while stopped at the traffic lights where Summerfield now is. His foot hit the accelerator, in his automatic car, and he shot forward, into the side of the Bowling Green. I remember it well. Nobody saw a thing.
