13.08.2021 | 15:01Six people were fatally shot in Plymouth, England, on Thursday, a rare occurrence in a country that has some of the world’s strictest gun control laws and had not endured a mass shooting since 2010.
The gunman was one of the six people killed, the police said. One of the victims was under 10 years old.
The Devon and Cornwall Police said they were called to Keyham, a district of Plymouth, at 6:10 p.m. and found five people — including the gunman — dead from gunshots. An additional person was treated for gunshot wounds at the scene and died later at a hospital. There were both male and female victims, incluiding a 5-year old girl, the police said.
The authorities did not offer a motive but said the shooting was “not a terrorism-related incident.”
