Merseyside Police have issued a statement that includes this: "Merseyside Police takes all reports of gun crime seriously and if, as in this case, a member of the public reports that they believe someone is armed with a firearm and is pointing it from a window, officers will respond." Fair enough. It relates to this:
"Police armed with hand guns surrounded a house in Walton, Liverpool, after a frightened passer-by dialled 999, claiming that a man was wielding a firearm from the window," according to a newspaper report! OMG! That relates to this...
An armed containment was placed on the terraced house at 9.50pm on Tuesday night when a man was seen in a window with a gun.
Say the police, “In this instance once officers gained entry to the property they found that the imitation firearm was in fact from a computer console. The computer console was not in use at the time this was reported to us.
"After the investigation the individual was given suitable advice and no further criminal action taken.”
