A gunman killed five people before turning the gun on himself in Britain’s first mass shooting in over a decade. Police identified the gunman as 22-year-old Jake Davison, according to The Associated Press (AP). Witnesses said Davison used a pump-action shotgun during the Thursday night spree that killed five victims ranging from three to 66 years old, AP reported. Britain hasn’t seen a mass shooting in more than a decade and has strict gun laws. However, authorities said Davison did have a gun license, but did not confirm whether or not the gun he used was the firearm he had a license for, AP reported. Police said Davison’s rampage began just after 6:00 p.m., when he shot and killed a woman in her Plymouth home, according to Shaun Sawyer, chief constable for Devon and Cornwall police.
