Burma Bill Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 5 hours ago, giddyup said: When was the last time a mass shooting happened in London? A contender, but 111 years ago. Winston Churchill was in charge as Home Secretary. (Wikipedia): The siege of Sidney Street of January 1911, also known as the Battle of Stepney, was a gunfight in the East End of London between a combined police and army force and two Latvian revolutionaries. The siege was the culmination of a series of events that began in December 1910, with an attempted jewellery robbery at Houndsditch in the City of London by a gang of Latvian immigrants which resulted in the murder of three policemen, the wounding of two others, and the death of George Gardstein, the leader of the Latvian gang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
