#rdguk roundabout closed by Readin Station

Some more pics from around town where Forbury Gardens has been closed off #rdg #rdguk

Very eerie seeing the ruins cordoned off like this #rdg #rdguk #forburygardens

Up by former #Reading Prison #rdguk #rdg #forburygardens

Helicopter above as sirens sound down below. A few police officers by The Blade and more by Forbury Retail Park #forburygardens #rdg #rdguk

Forbury Retail Park is actually completely cordoned off — #Reading prison in the background. #rdg #rdguk #forburygardens

Back by the town hall now. Josh from Honest Burgers, which is just around 300 metres from #ForburyGardens, told me what he saw.

Very few members of the public out in #RDG #rdguk now as night falls on the town centre

Police now closing off the section by the town hall as it’s ‘part of the scene’ #rdg #rdguk #forburygardens

Helicopter still circling the area #rdguk #rdg #forburygardens

I’m leaving #RDG now as police cordon off the town, but for latest updates follow @rdgchronicle’s live blog readingchronicle.co.uk/news/18531350.…
