ITV News journalist Emma Murphy relives her nerve-wracking encounter with the armed and dangerous Raoul Moat during the UK’s largest manhunt, in this episode of Reporting History.
In the summer of 2010 the former Gateshead bouncer was on the run in Rothbury, Northumberland and threatening to kill police, journalists and the public – following a shooting spree that killed one man and injured two others, including his ex-partner.
Reporting History sees journalists join News At Ten anchor Tom Bradby to revisit their remarkable reports from the defining events of the modern age and reveal the drama that occurred off camera.
In this enthralling interview, Emma Murphy describes the panic on the streets of the quiet picturesque town, the moments leading up to the shooting spree’s brutal ending and questions why most people remember the manhunt for Gazza, a fishing rod and a bag of cooked chicken.
