Moats has been caught.
Stand-Off at a riverbank, and he is surrounded by police and snipers. Tasers are locked onto him so if he tries to shoot himself they will try and taser him first. He was found with a sawn off shotgun pointed to his neck.
Also this woman is mouthing off for a silly reason, can see the **** being taken out of her soon:

From BBC website
"2222 BST: The BBC's Fiona Trott says former footballer Paul Gascoigne appeared a short while ago at the police cordon. She says he posed for some pictures with children before driving off."
Nice, know what needs to be done there.

Gunman Raoul Moat kills himself
Fugitive gunman Raoul Moat has killed himself after a six-hour stand-off with armed officers, police have confirmed.
A spokesman said 37-year-old Moat shot himself in a field at Rothbury in Northumberland. He was pronounced dead in hospital at 0220 BST on Saturday.
Earlier, police confirmed that "no shots were fired by police officers" and no officers were hurt.
Police had been negotiating with Moat, who was cornered close to a river in Rothbury after a week-long manhunt.
Eyewitness Peter Abiston, whose house overlooks the scene of the incident, told the BBC: "From what I can see he shot himself. He lay down and shot himself.
I think there was two, but there was certainly one shot." Other local people overheard some of the negotiations that took place between Moat and the police before he apparently turned his gun on himself.
A guest-house owner, who did not want to be named, told the BBC: "He actually said, the one thing that sticks in my mind, 'I haven't got a dad'... and he also said that, 'nobody cares about me'."
Police said Moat, a former nightclub bouncer and father-of-three, shot himself at about 0115 BST.
After a gunshot was heard, shouts were heard from officers close to Moat. One was heard to yell several times, "Put that gun down".
Paramedics were quickly on the scene and Moat was taken by ambulance to Newcastle General Hospital - accompanied by two police cars - but died shortly after arriving.
Police grudge Officers discovered Moat on the riverbank at about 1900 BST on Friday.
Expert negotiators were brought in to speak to him, and unconfirmed reports suggested a friend of Moat was also brought inside the police cordon to try to persuade him to surrender.
Because police had contact with Moat prior to his death, the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Northumbria Police Temporary Chief Constable Sue Sim said: "While the incident has been brought to a close we must be mindful of the impact it has had on many lives.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those affected.
"I'd like to thank the public, particularly the community of Rothbury, for their continued help throughout the inquiry.
"This has been a difficult time for them and their support has been invaluable."
The BBC's Jon Sopel, who is in Rothbury, said: "There is a sense of relief here that people can go on with their lives in safety.
"But there is still a police cordon in place and forensic teams are still trying to work out where exactly Raoul Moat was hiding.
"So effectively Rothbury is a town cut in two at the moment. Life still hasn't got back to normal quite yet and I suspect it may not do for some time to come."
Former police firearms adviser, Andy Redhead said: "All the officers involved in this operation are relieved that it's over.
"And I dare say there is also an element of disappointment that Mr Moat was not persuaded to put the weapon down and surrender.
"I think with any police investigation of this magnitude there are always going to be lessons learnt. There will be lessons learnt here, good and bad on various aspects."
Moat had been on the run for a week after allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and killing her new partner, Chris Brown.
The attacks took place in the Scafell area of Birtley, near Gateshead, on Saturday 3 July.
In the early hours of Sunday 4 July, Moat is alleged to have shot Pc David Rathband as he sat in his patrol car in East Denton, near Newcastle.
Moat was released from prison on Thursday 1 July.
Northumbria Police said he appeared to have a grudge against the force and in a letter purportedly written by him, he threatened to keep shooting officers until he was dead.
Police later warned of a wider threat to the public.
Targeting the public Jon Sopel said that warning followed the discovery of a dictaphone in a tent used by Moat.
He said the dictaphone contained four hours of recordings in which Moat said he was unhappy with the way details of his private life were being reported and unless that stopped he would start targeting members of the public.
It also emerged Moat had indicated to police he had "significant unhappiness" with what he considered to be misreporting by the media and believed the police were manipulating the media deliberately.
Police said he threatened to harm members of the public for each inaccuracy he perceived.
Psychologists also concluded there was a "high risk" that Moat would be responsible for future violent conduct.
The focus of the manhunt moved to Rothbury when a black Lexus car, which Moat was thought to have been using, was discovered in the town on Tuesday.
Police imposed a 10-mile (16km) exclusion zone around the town and armed officers from forces across the country were brought in to assist in the search.

According to some websites, there is a rumour that the BBC had to dub out the cheers from the police when it was over, on the recording of Raoul Moat..
I think its amazing in this day and age, that he managed to evade the police and SAS for nearly 7 days...
The interview with Gazza is fantastic... http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/uk_national_news/8265471.Gazza_brings_beer_to_support_Moat/?ref=mr

Lets face it, wasn't known to the public, but any risk to the public or police, he was the most wanted man in Britain, the SAS would of been there working with the police but it would never of been made known to the public...

I don't understand why people are admiring how he evaded capture. The fact he did is worrying, what if he carried out random attacks on memebrs of the public. Like the guy who did similar a few weeks ago, both people did/could have left a long trail of bodies.
Theres a group on Facebook proclaiming him as a legend for doing what he did. That is just wrong.
