Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
Seeing on Twitter reports of smoke and people running away from the scene of what has happened, still unclear as to what it is.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
Ollie Murs has tweeted to get out of Selfridges as shots have been fired. He was in there.

Re: Incident at Oxford Circus
I find it strange how Olly Murs was tweeting he was in the store where there was gunshots...
