A major incident has been declared following the shootings in Liverpool with the gunman remaining at large. Police are urging people to stay indoors.
No-one is believed to have been injured at this stage and the incident is not being treated as terror-related. Dozens of police cars were at the scene last night, while armed police were seen guarding the cordon outside the building.
People were later escorted in small groups from the building, past a line of armed officers and to their cars. One witness who was inside the cinema, Craig Moorhead, said he was kept inside the building for 45 minutes.

He said: "As we came out of the cinema screen the armed police response team was running in. I was talking to the girl on the desk, apparently a fella had pointed a shotgun at her. She was in shock."

They’d cover the Loch Ness monster, everything. I remember one about plants, wondering if they were able to think and what kind of music they’d like to listen to. They got really obscure with some of the subjects, but we loved that show. We loved the vibe of it. And that’s where we first learned about Bigfoot…”
