🔫🛑 TERROR ON OTLEY ROAD — MAN DIES AFTER CROSSBOW RAMPAGE LEAVES TWO WOMEN SEVERELY INJURED

Residents of Leeds are still reeling after a shocking crossbow and firearm attack left two women injured and the suspect, Owen Lawrence, 38, now confirmed dead. The incident, which unfolded on Otley Road in Headingley, is being investigated by Counter Terrorism Policing North East, as more disturbing details come to light. 😨

According to West Yorkshire Police, officers responded on Saturday to reports of a man seen with weapons. Lawrence was found with a self-inflicted injury and was taken to hospital, where he later died. Two women, aged 19 and 31, were seriously hurt. One has since been discharged, while the other remains hospitalized after undergoing surgery.

Police recovered both a crossbow and a firearm at the scene. In a chilling twist, social media accounts believed to belong to Lawrence contain images of weapons, makeshift knives, and posts outlining a plan to attack people during the Otley Road Run — a popular local pub crawl.

👉 Investigators believe he may have been influenced by far-right ideologies, including the infamous great replacement conspiracy theory — a disturbing pattern seen in other lone-wolf attacks across Europe.

Authorities insist there is no evidence of accomplices and say the attacker acted alone. However, the Home Office is now pushing for urgent reform of crossbow laws, calling the ease of online purchase “deeply alarming.”

Detective Chief Superintendent James Dunkerley stated:

"We understand the public's concern. Our investigation will continue until we can offer clear answers to the victims and the community."

The tragic attack comes just one day before Parliament began debating tighter controls on the sale of crossbows in the UK — a debate now supercharged by public outrage.

🕯️ He Planned His Own Farewell: The Radical Simplicity of Pope Francis’ Last Request He knew death was coming. And when it did, he had already written the script. Pope Francis didn’t want a golden coffin. No marble tomb. Not even the Apostolic Palace. He wanted something far more shocking: Silence. Simplicity. A return to the roots of faith. 📖 A Funeral Unlike Any Before In April 2024, a full year before his death, Francis personally approved a new version of the Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis — the official rite of papal funerals. The changes? His body was to be moved immediately to a chapel, not kept for ceremony No majestic procession No power parade Just prayers and faith , centered on Christ — not the Pope Archbishop Diego Ravelli, the Master of Apostolic Ceremonies, said it plainly: “This is not the funeral of a leader. It’s the farewell of a disciple.” 🧠 The Message Behind the Request In life, Francis refused palaces. In death, he refused titles. He knew...

 Image:ITV 😳 “Back Off, Chris” – JoJo Siwa Shuts Down Late-Night CBB Bedroom Moment What started as a quirky friendship is now raising serious eyebrows — and JoJo Siwa is clearly done playing along . In a previously unseen clip from Celebrity Big Brother UK , fans watched as Chris Hughes — shirtless and unfiltered — approached JoJo’s bed, asking for cuddles, showing off his muscles, and making remarks that some viewers are calling “creepy” . JoJo’s response? Blunt, uncomfortable, and completely necessary . 🛏️ The Clip Everyone's Talking About Late into the night, after the ITV broadcast ended, Chris was caught on livestream footage hovering near JoJo’s bed .

Chris, 32, continued to flirt, despite JoJo, 21, being visibly uncomfortable and in a public relationship with Kath Ebbs. 😬 From Fun to Un...
