Leeds attack police to look at 'massacre' threats on Facebook

A 38-year-old man who police said had suffered a "self-inflicted injury" was arrested and a crossbow and a firearm were recovered from the scene.

The man was described yesterday as a "key suspect" by police, who said he remained in a critical condition in hospital.

One of the women - who are aged 19 and 31 - has been discharged from hospital but the other underwent surgery and is in a stable condition.
