I was speaking to my mother in laws best friend today, her 13 year old niece was caught up in this, a lady walking in front of her took the full impact, blowing her to her feet and taking the poor girl down to the ground with her, when she got to her senses she saw the lady was bleeding heavily from her abdomen, she immediately took her jacket off and put it into a ball and put it into the wound to stem the flow of blood, when the paramedics arrived and took over they asked her how she knew what to do, she said she had seen it on casualty, the lady and her boyfriend both unfortunately lost their lives and it has obviously had a massive impact on the little girl, who will very likely never get over it, her best friend and her best friends mom who she went with both were hospitalised, the mom with very serious but not life threatening injuries, the friend has shrapnel in most of her left arm, 3 lovely people whose lives amongst many others that lives have been shattered by this ba***rd. The niece has only just started to venture out again, after the death of her brother 2 years ago had left her devastated , goodness only knows what must be going through her head at he moment.
