for now at least and see how it progresses. There's a new twist to this story today with police now saying they have been dealing with a hostage situation, and the apparent arrest of two suspects on conspiracy to commit murder charges, who were previously believed to have been hostages. If we were to keep this it would have to be renamed to something different such as Northumbria shootings or Tyneside shootings (apologies for any title errors here, I'm not familiar with the area). There have been several days of news coverage now and multiple events, so it probably passes the  and  tests. Does it pass ? Possibly. Crimes such as this are rare in the UK, but sadly becoming more frequent. One other thing, the article will need some serious work to improve it
