Firstly, I want to say that our thoughts are with the family and friends of those caught up in the dreadful incident at the Park Inn Hotel, West George Street, Glasgow.

Police responded to a report of an incident at the Park Inn Hotel, Glasgow at 12:50am on 26th June 2020. Six people are in hospital for treatment of their injuries including a police officer. A male suspect was shot by armed police and died. I must stress that the incident is not being treated as terrorist related and our investigation is continuing into the circumstances.

I want to take this opportunity to reassure Scottish communities that Incidents of this nature are very rare, though I know that this will be of little comfort to those involved and I understand the concern that this incident will have caused.

Police Scotland is committed to keeping people safe, and whilst we understand that people will clearly be appalled and feel vulnerable as a result of this incident, I would urge everyone to continue to work together and ensure no person or group in Scotland feels marginalised or isolated. Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of hate crime, and should anyone experience or witness such an incident, please report it.

It should be stressed that there is no specific information to suggest an increased risk to communities in Scotland, however you may notice increased patrols by officers, intended to increase reassurance and community engagement. We also ask that all relevant groups and organisations provide appropriate reassurance to individuals and communities.

Victim Support Scotland have extended their helpline this weekend to provide support and information to people affected by crime and the incident. The helpline number is 0800 160 1985.

If you have any relevant information or concerns, I would urge you to contact the Police by calling 101, through Contact Scotland BSL, in an emergency dial 999 or SMS 999 or contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Hate crime can also be reported using our online hate crime reporting form on the Police Scotland website or via one of our Third Party Reporting Centres.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the incident in today.

Officers often put themselves in the face of danger and their bravery is commendable.

UPDATE 17:50

Assistant Chief Constable Steve Johnson said: "Police responded to a report of an incident at the Park Inn Hotel in West George Street, Glasgow, at 12.50pm today.

"Officers were on the scene within two minutes, and armed officers shortly afterwards, and the incident was quickly contained.

"A man was shot by armed police and has died. Six other men are in hospital for treatment, including a 42-year-old police officer, who is in a critical but stable condition. The officer's family is aware.

“The other men in hospital are aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53. Liaison officers have been appointed.

"Our thoughts are with the families of those who were injured, including our officer.

"The incident is not being treated as a terrorism and our investigation is continuing into the circumstances. There is no wider risk to the public, however the street remains closed and people should avoid the area.

"As would be the case in any police discharge of fi****ms involving a fatality, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to investigate."

Today marks the occasion of Easter...however we receive sad news from Sri Lanka.

From our friend Tricia Hillas, Canon Pastor at St Paul's Catherdral who has taken the following from her colleague Mark Poulson ....

"Devastating news from Sri Lanka.

A Sri Lankan church leader here in Southall told me her Uncle’s church was attacked. He is currently out of the country but the bomber asked for him by name and said he wanted to join the church to worship.He then sat down, the Sunday School members entered the church and he then detonated the bomb. Many children amongst the dead.

We weep with those who weep."

We ask you to say a prayer for all those who have lost loved ones to such inhumane and barbaric acts of terror ...in Sri Lanka and all over the world.

SPMA is saddened by the horrific attacks that have taken place at the two mosques in Christchurch New Zealand where approximately 50 people have been confirmed dead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, those who have been injured and of course, with the community of Christchurch.

Terrorism has no place in our society and the rise of anti hatred must be challenged. As such we urge communities to come together in peace and harmony to address such barbaric acts.

SPMA would urge the community of Scotland to remain vigilant but to carry on as normal in attending mosques for prayers.

A further briefing will follow.
