Standard response to anything like this (particularly if thought terroism a possibility at the outset).

Words fail me, if I was unfortunate enough to be caught up in any security incident the last thing I would do is tweet

Terrible scare mongering and attention seeking ****

No casualties and no evidence of gun shots.

Im pretty certain they have gun shot detection systems in place around London so should easily pick it up. Very odd....

Sounds like mass hysteria, people running dropping there shopping screaming and crying, but no one knew what they were running from !!

No victims have time to tweet, they’re too busy. Only attention seeking twats. I work that way, left at 4. Thank ****.
