If that's Johnny Mercer in that picture, i am calling him out as a person of interest.
Twitter saying 5 shot including the shooters family??
Really sad news

Mate is down there and saying there’s lot of reports of five/six deaths.
feck me! He looks like a Wildling from Game of Thrones
Proper frightening to see shooting in the UK.
Terror related do you think?
Always a worry when there are no good guys with guns around to step these.
(All jokes aside, you're right, it doesn't feel real reading about it in UK, a good sign I guess)
There are good guys with guns, just not enough.
Again,
Rumours I’ve heard is an ex bf.
Apparently now he’s shot himself.
Completely unverified.
That's the problem, people thinking and speculating...it then becomes a rumour which just goes to spread hatred

Cops? How did this bizarre looking fella get voted in?
Not terror related - not brown.
By wearing a blue tie in southern England.

RiP to the victims.
Was just out in Plymouth. We were driving past the football ground about 7pm and had to move aside for 3 ambulances with their lights on - didn’t think anything of it at the time. RIP to all involved, just heart breaking.
This is awful
Looks brutal. So rare in this country.
Wonder if it's something to do with the armed forces based there.
Could be. Keyham is right next to the dockyard. Though it employs a fraction of the number it used to.
Absolutely tragic, RIP to all the victims.
We take for granted how lucky we are that headlines including firearms are so infrequent in this country.

reading reports that up to 6 are dead, this is shocking
Six confirmed dead, one of which was a child under 10. Heart breaking news. I've been posted down here working over the road for the last couple of years and everyone's in a state of shock.
Such a shit post.
Tragic news.

The gunman was a Trump-supporter and conspiracy theorist, looking at his Facebook profile. I wish I was surprised.
Eh, so you're saying this chap was American or is this some joke that's gone over my head?
He was British which makes it even weirder.
Maybe I'm missing something but it says he's from the US but living in Plymouth in your post?
I don't know why he wrote that in his Facebook profile. I don't even understand why anyone is pro-Trump or a conspiracy theorist, whether or not he is from the UK.
Not surprised the first mass-shooting in the UK for over a decade is from one of those numbskulls though.

Why is this not suspected to be terrorism related?
Reading 'Sharrons' witness statement on the Bbc makes it sound like it should be.

I'm not sure if that's been verified as true or if he was just that obsessed with the US he put that as his place of birth. The profile does indicate he was obsessed with US gun culture though, very right wing and a Trump fan.
Apparently he was working for a local aerospace company I think.
The world has gone so fecking crazy over the last few years it shouldn’t seem that unusual by now but it still blows my mind to see so many non-Americans obsessively worshipping Trump. And that would be weird even if he wasn’t an utter feckwit.
Has any POTUS ever attracted this sort of overseas devotion before?

It's not though is it? He's completely right.
Obama? The product of that devotion was less dangerous though.
So is he British or American?
