A man shot 5 people with a pump-action shotgun in a 6-minute frantic killing, including a very young girl. UK On Friday, the police were arrested by the police as 22-year-old Jack Davidson, but they said the motive for the murder was unclear.
Davidson, a crane operator, began shooting at around 6pm (1700 GMT) on Thursday, first killing a woman he knew in a house on Southern Bidick Avenue English city of Plymouth, The police said.
He ran out of the house and immediately shot and killed a little girl who was walking a dog on the street with her male relatives.
Davidson shot two other seriously injured passers-by, then entered the park and shot another man, then killed another woman in Henderson Square.
Then he aimed the gun at himself before the gun officer could deal with him. Devon and Cornwall police chief Shaun Sawyer said the fatal shooting was over in just a few minutes.
“There is no motive,” Sawyer told reporters, adding that the police did not consider terrorism or any far-right association, even though the police were browsing his computer.
Sawyer said: “We believe that we have had a domestic-related incident that has spread to the streets and saw some people in Plymouth die in extremely tragic circumstances.”
Sawyer said that witnesses described the weapon as a pump-action shotgun. He can’t say whether Davidson has a mental health problem. Davidson holds a gun license.
In a video posted on the Internet, Davidson complained that he had not lost his teenage virginity and described himself as “incel” – or an involuntary single. According to The Times, he complained in the video about being defeated by life.
Britain has one of the lowest gun homicide rates in the world. This is the first mass shooting in the country in 11 years.
In the UK, there are relatively few shootings because gun ownership in the UK is not widespread.
