Brilliant - she's probably flicking herself off at the idea of getting an award for this too!

It's dramatic... it's a standoff... it's live... on Sky News!

Apparently, they jumped on him!

BBC: No change in the demeanour of police officers and no gun shot heard (from Colette Hume in Rothbury)

BBC are showing an interview from earlier today. Come on BBC, don't ruin your coverage now by not having anyone there live!
