Law enforcement inside of the United Kingdom have stated there's an ‘ongoing incident’ after Warwickshire Police have been dispatched to Bermuda Park and sealed off all traffic going into and out of the facility.

Several witnesses have reported that a criminal armed with a sawed-off shotgun has taken hostages and barricaded himself inside of the bowling alley.

One eye-witness calling himself Dean Roger's said that all access to the site has been blocked by police and there are up to 30 armed officers at the scene attempting to communicate with the gunman.

Police have reportedly began to close traffic into Bermuda aw well as all of this happened when the streets were still somewhat busy.

At least two armored police vehicles are currently outside MFA Bowl at Bermuda Park, in St David's Way; which have been reported on social media by those near the scene.

Several dozen people have hit social media saying they're currently trapped inside of a theater where police won't allow them to leave until the situation has been given an all clear.

One of the many inside the cinema, Paul Edgington, said that he was ‘stuck’ inside the building, responding to police: “I’m stuck in the cinema. Are we safe? How long are we expected to be locked down?”

He said he was watching a film, which was stopped as the drama unfolded.

Bermuda Park is a mixture of both leisure and family fun as well as as a commercial business park that serves residents from both Nuneaton and Bedworth with multiple restaurants, a bowling alley, movie theater, several stores for apparel and home goods, among other types of businesses.

Officers have continued to warn all residents to steer clear.

It currently remains unknown just how many victims are currently hostages or what the gunman has intended to do with them.

It's also important to point out that the UK has some of the most brutal gun control laws in the planet; but continues to have problems with firearms because <i>criminals simply don't follow the law and when you ban guns citizens cannot defend themselves.</i>

This is a breaking story, more updates as it occurs.
