Is it me or has the Sky Shot Sequence audio been changed? The clear "crack" of the gunshot seems to have been replaced with a series of muffled sounds.

Also, now that we know that shot was a fatal one, should they really be playing that out? Play the shouting, fair doose, but not the gunshot.


Well said, Michael. Imagine how his family are feeling, having to keep replaying that.

It's not much fun for us un-connected people either. That shot is a fatal one. It literally is the sound of a man's life ending. Just a thought.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I think you are being too sensitive. It is your imagination that is upsetting you rather than anything being broadcast by Sky or anyone else.

Oh I'm not upset by it, far from it.* I'm just concerned that with continual repetition, journalistic interest is giving way to something slightly more ghoulish. Being injured by a gunshot is one thing - being killed by one is another.

*I've seen the R Budd Dwyer incident too many times.

So this non-story finally over. Now, if only we could go back in time and see how it played out without the unwarranted excessive media coverage.

Has Andrew Wilson slept at all? He was on when I went to sleep and still going strong now.

I agree. It's just political correctness gone mad.

How does political correctness have anything to do with this story?

According to a mate at Sky, Kay was not in the Sky News Centre. She was reporting from an undisclosed location using ISDN.


I didn't think she could be back at Sky Centre - seeing as she was LIVE from Rothbury during Afternoon LIVE upto 5pm, it would of been a mad dash south in 7hours with little sleep to come back on air, although I felt it did need a more high profile presenter even if it was overnight.

Maybe you could ask your mate at Sky to disclose the location?

It only takes around five and a half hours driving according to Google and she may well have been flying.

I doubt it.
