A1 - Ryan, J. M. SP - 85 EP - 88 VL - 136 IS - 2 N2 - Two years have passed since the worst firearms incident in recent British civil history. Most of the casualties were managed at a local district general hospital; this experience was reported soon afterwards.

Current thoughts on optimal management are discussed; areas of particular controversy are highlighted.
