LONDON, Aug 13 — British police said today they were investigating the background of a troubled loner who obtained a firearms licence and shot dead five people including a three-year-old girl in the country’s first mass shooting in 11 years.
After killing the woman at her house, Davison shot and killed the toddler and her male relative aged 43 on the road outside, before taking the lives of a man and woman nearby, the police said. “My thoughts are with the friends and family of those who lost their lives and with all those affected by the tragic incident in Plymouth last night,” he tweeted.A single gun was recovered from the scene after Davison shot himself, but the police chief was unable to confirm witness accounts that it was a pump-action shotgun.
He was reportedly a trainee crane operator in the docks, after working as a scaffolder in his late teens. The last external video he “liked” on YouTube, this week, was of a series of shots fired from a World War II US rifle.
