Seascale, (England): A taxi driver turned gunman has driven his vehicle on a shooting spree across a tranquil stretch of northwest England, methodically killing a dozen people and wounding two dozen others before turning the gun on himself. The rampage shocked and mystified a country where handguns are banned and multiple shootings rare.
The 52-year-old suspect's rampage in the county of Cumbria is Britain's deadliest mass shooting since a gunman killed 16 children at a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland in 1996.
Police Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Hyde said the killings had "shocked the people of Cumbria and around the country to the core."
He sad "12 people have lost their lives, plus Derrick Bird," the suspected gunman. Three of the 25 injured were in a critical condition in a hospital.
