They released the basic details about what happened and where just before 10am. There was nothing else to say at the time presumably becaysr that's all they could say.
Other details such as sequence of events will be being pieced together. Details of victims and the person arrested take a bit longer to make public.
I don't get this attitude of 'I must be told everything straight away'. Why? I'm as intrigued as the next person but I'd rather get on with my life and wait to hear what the police have to say when they're ready.
I do think there is a link between public safety and police transparency also the value of PIOs for situations like this. Rather than declaring a "major incident" whilst not telling the public what exactly that incident is...are we talking bombs, knives, someone with a gun or running people with down with a vehicle.
