Mumbai: At least 15 people have been injured in gunfights between two groups in at least three places in Mumbai on Thursday night.

Details are sketchy but it is believed that two gangs fired at each other at outside CST Railway Terminus, Hotel Oberoi and the popular Café Leopold restaurant in Mumbai.

The first shooting took place near the CST police station

[MARTIAL MONK]

Illegal aliens, no doubt. MS-13 is everywhere.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

UPDATE : I AM IN SUBURBAN MUMBAI I CAN HEAR AN AMBULANCE GO BY MY HOUSE .

[Nonstatist]

So its no longer Bombay? Sheesh, I’m always the last to know!

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

We Catholics still call it Bombay .

[Abathar]

Bombay, I’m too old to change.

[null and void]

If that’s remarkable you live in a much quieter area than I do. I hear a half dozen or more sirens a day.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I’ll be right there.....

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

yes my area is Chuim VILLAGE .

[Deo volente]

Peaceful Muslims whose guns all happened to go off accidentally at the same time?

Nothing to see here, move along.

[null and void]

I live on a main road in Silicon Valley.

[Condor51]

"Mumbai".
Oh well, scratch another place off my vacation destinations.

Though its still prolly safer there than Philly, New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, SF, LA, New York, Atlanta, Cincy, etc, etc, etc. (i.e.; any US city run by Democrats)

And much cheaper too .

Shhh dont tell anyone i live on less than $2 a day (travel included)

[Clint Williams]

Are the Bombay doors open?

[Red Badger]

Calcutta ain’t Calcutta, either........

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

New City names in India : -

Bombay - Mumbai

Calcutta - Kolkata

Bangalore - Bengaluru

Frankly we East Indians still call it Bombay .

[Red Badger]

Oh, Kolkata just doesn't have the same ring to it...............

[happygrl]

I like that "Bengaluru".

It sounds like something Desi Arnez would play with his Cuban band.

[happygrl]

P.S. I hope no one innocent gets hurt.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

Please change title to 25 injured 3 dead .

[ElectricStrawberry]

See...if you watched the Amazing Race....you’d know that.

I found that tidbit of info a month or so ago on that show, but will still call it Bombay just as I will always call Burma...Burma, no matter which murderous regime takes over.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

The reason they made the change from Bombay to Mumbai was because the city’s original name was mumbai after the godess
Mumbara devi .

this Shiv sena regime changed it to mumbai

[cmdjing]

Apparently some journalists have a magical time machine that sees into the future. It is Thursday morning rather than night in Mumbai.

[blam]

Welcome to FR and thanks for the on-site inputs.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

CNN after all :)

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

One more Update : Some terrorist have hidden in a hospital and 2 more terrorist are hiding in a hotel .

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

Thanks and we are planning to not go out of the house tomorrow . It's looking pretty bad .

[Thunder90]

Possible reaction for blowing up the Pirate frigate????

Prayers up for the victims.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

I doubt this has much to do with the pirate thing .
This is probably home grown terrorism .

[Velveeta]

Thank you for the first-hand reports, Indian Fighter Kite.

Pinging friends to #31.

[Velveeta]

Per FOX news, gunmen were asking if anyone was American or British.

[RightWhale]

Shooting continues. 11 dead so far

[SevenofNine]

Damn there is big story at Sky news right now with injuried and mayhem

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

UPDATE : 18 Feared dead over 100 injured

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

OMG !

They were looking for hostages ?

[Rushmore Rocks]

Now over 25 dead.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

Who will help us now !

ZERO - BAMA ?

[Rushmore Rocks]

Please stay safe and thanks for the reports.

[Velveeta]

Not sure. They were either looking for hostages or westerners to target.

[xjcsa]

Fox News correspondent reports 80 dead, Westerners specifically targeted, and one British member of Parliament under siege at his hotel.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

Reports coming in that the terrorist have escaped the Cama hospital in a police van !

WHAT ? A POLICE VAN ............ this is so disgraceful on the part of the mumbai police .

[Velveeta]

FOX reporting that 7 sites in the financial hub of Mumbai were attacked.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

very scary - the entire city is under attack at different locations

stay in - stay safe

do you have any idea why this is happening?

[KJC1]

On Fox now, there is banner saying “Police ready to storm Hotel in Mumbai.”

And welcome to FR; it’s always great to have FReepers on the ground.

Let’s hope this rampage is over.

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

There are many “whites” living in Mumbai . I figured sooner or later they would become targets .
