Lot of Police and tape at said location, sorry I have no idea why,
Apparently there has been a shooting on borough road.
Shooting in Hippos Chip Shop, Borough Road about an hour ago
Also reports of a&e being closed off at arrowe park with armed police there.
Strange talk of paddy from gypsy weddings being in some way involved?!
Oh dear Paddy has relatives in Harrowby road so that could be true
I think I heard it last night. I thought it was kids with fireworks as there was 4 loud bangs, but the times seem to add up.
Things just seem to be getting worse...
Borough Road still blocked off, just been to Arrowe Park, all looks normal, couldnt see any police, or at least no more than usual.
Cheers Jase, didn't clock that bud
A man in his fiftys has apparantly been shot in the back down there heard it on radio x

Regarding last night's shooting in Birkenhead - There have been rumours the victim is Paddy O'Doherty. This is factually INCORRECT
No idea who this guy is, but this is the tweet that has just been posted by MerPol.
i work in st. caths and can confirm that as of now, borough rd is STILL blocked.
there's major rumour of the victim being paddy o'doherty (police might tweet differently to not alarm anyone or make the assailant brag) as he has relatives in the area (cousin i believe)
all busses are coming via derby road, traffic is hell, avoid the area if at all possible. we've also received no word from the police how long forensics will be there.
sod knows how long it'll take my bus to get here after work (155) so might just walk down to birkenhead and get the train home...
will keep you all posted if i hear anything,
All clear, Merseyside news.
update: it WASN'T paddy o'doherty who was shot, but he was at APH A&E visiting whoever it was that was shot.
probably one of his relatives/friends.
i've heard nothing else.

Who ever it was
Bloody sad
Apprently paddy is featured in a clip
Of the only way is Wirral hence why he was there?
He wrote this on twitter but I dunno
Bloke shot was apparently called paul doherty, maybe where people are getting the paddy doherty link
From what I have heard from someone who works in the hospital it is Paddy Dohertys cousin.
It was not Paddy ,it was his son`s father in law .Fact ,his auntie has just phoned me to let me know .They are actually friends of mine from the Gypsy community
Poor man
Pass on my love and hope June x
Thank you Sarah i will pass on all the good wishes i have recieved from people all over the Wirral ,it is genuine and not gossip .
It was not Paddy ,it was his son`s father in law .Fact ,his auntie has just phoned me to let me know .They are actually friends of mine from the Gypsy community
true hun a guys life has nearly been taken.
so sad really as some are just bothered about another website.
Hope the guy is okay and they catch the ... that did it
Thanks Lightening ,people are entitled to their own opinion really but let`s not loose track of what has happened all too often lately though .There is a family on edge here waiting to see if he`s going to be alright ,it makes it worse if you know the people involved
So am i right in thinking its got nothing to do with Doherty himself as originally made out on WT

I'm lost i thought it wasn't paddy?! Are you saying he has been shot June?
Nelzy i said it wasn`t Paddy .It was Paddy`s son`s (Davey`s) father in law ,you will hear it soon enough on the news

I know hun we show some respect, and think what his family is going through i would be in tears.
Just trying to get the story straight in my own head, thought it wasn't Paddy himself, thanks for explaining June
Yes without sounding like captain obvious, of course what has happened is tragic but at least the victim is pulling through, lets hope he makes a full recovery and the idiot who shot him is dealt with to the full extent of the law
The more observant of you will notice i also posted this thread in Street news, Jase kindly informed me there was already one running and provided the clicky my first reaction was also OMG, Poor fella etc, hence why i posted a thread about it
ZR your are right sniping comments etc is playground shit, Can do with out it
Thanks Nelzy not a problem it`s ok
hope the poor bloke is ok, god bless.
Hi Wiggi ,would that make the shooting of his father in law equal ?i don`t understand what you are getting at ? your normally alright
I'm not getting at anything June, it was a question just wondering if it was the same son?
Oh and no if it was related it wouldn't make it right
Fair enough Wiggi ,but there is a family hoping there dad /brother /son is alright ,i hope he pulls through .I just didn`t think the timing was right to sling sh*t that`s all and worst of it is i know them.There is not many of us that haven`t got a skeleton or 2 in the cupboard i just hope to god some one doesn`t shoot my nan cos of some thing i did in the past (hyperthetically) i mean ,you take care xx
If you don't mind me asking gypsyjune, was it an actual gun he was shot with or some high power air rifle conversion thingy as if it were a 9mm or the like, the fact someone heard 4 shots as per a post on here, means the victim is so fortunate to be alive.
