Fair to say it has stunned the nation, the last time an MP was killed was in 1990, and shootings are just so rare in this country too (the murderer actually constructed his own gun).
It only happened 10 miles from where I live, and it's sent the local region into shock and disbelief.
Anyway, just thought i'd share
Rest in peace Jo.
It crossed my news feeds several times. It was very sad to hear anout. She was a realatively new one to Parliament, wasn't she?
