One For Rebus..?


Armed police were called to a 'disturbance' at a house at Fernieside Crescent in the south east of Edinburgh at about 8.25am on Tuesday. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Local residents have reported hearing 'multiple gunshots' ringing out in the street. It is understood the incident involved a weapon but no one was shot with a gun.

Eh..? 

The incident was caught in Ring doorbell camera footage, where an officer is seen walking through a garden before five gunshot-like sounds are heard, soon followed by six more, the Sun reports.

There's a puzzler that could come from the pen of Ian Rankin, all right!  

In a statement, the Police Scotland said their inquiries are continuing.

I wonder what they are looking for, if not a gun? 

Police Scotland said a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

That'll make great reading! Unless it's a typo and they meant 'The Fortean Times'...

Fernieside Crescent a "leafy neighbourhood"? It's glaringly obvious that they've never been there. I have, but to be fair, there are plenty of leaves in the hedges.

A very loud bow and arrow.

"Fernieside Crescent a "leafy neighbourhood"? It's glaringly obvious that they've never been there."

It's press shorthand for 'middle class neighbourhood where one wouldn't expect this sort of thing' usually...

"A very loud bow and arrow."
