Radio Cumbria has named one of the victims as Rob Purdham's brother.
Sad day for all involved.

Gary Purdham wasn't just Rob's brother, he was an accomplished RL player himself having represented BARLA and also played professionally for both Whitehaven and Workington Town.

Shocking news, RIP to all who lost their lives today.

i had a really bad feeling it might be a rugby league personality when the doctor from seascale mentioned one of those killed was very well known, especially in west cumbria.

my thoughts are with all the people there at this very traumatic time.

Very sad news R.I.P to all of them who lost their lives.

Tragic and needless waste of life. RIP all who died.

My god. I hadn't heard about this until I read this. Then I googled it, shocking. RIP.

Condolences to all the families.

R.I.P to all those shot today.

Heartfelt sympathy to Rob and family and all the other families involved in this terrible tragedy.

This is absolutely horrendous. Brings back memories of Hungerford. Greatest sympathies to all who are suffering because of this.

I'm genuinely shocked. I send my sincere condolences to Rob and family, i hope he knows the whole RL community is behind him and his family through such difficult times.

RIP to Garry and all those who needlessly lost their lives today.
