Eyewitnesses have described seeing the gunman dressed in black and gray kicking the door of a house and opening fire in the Cayham area of the city, shortly after 6 pm yesterday. He was carrying a cannon with many barrels and was seen leaving in the back of the property and in a park where he allegedly fell on two dog walkers and opened fire. The incident – the first in Britain involving an “active sniper” in 11 years – was so serious that Home Secretary Pretty Patel was regularly informed.

Security sources said he was not being treated as a terrorist. Sharron Turner, 57, who lives behind the scenes of the shooting, said a gunman “kicked” the front door of a house before shooting a young mother and her daughter, who was about five years old. “We heard a series of loud bangs that I said sounded like gunshots,” Miss Turner told The Times. He then ran to the park and other shots were fired. “I heard someone say he shot his brother.”

After the attack, the gunman escaped through a park behind the house in Northdown Crescent and shot two dog walkers, he claimed. A resident, Michel Abdullah, wrote: “On a sad day, a man shot his whole family and then left by accident. Police right outside my house. “Three ambulances in the park outside my back garden.” Last night a video posted on social media showed a body covered with a sheet lying on the sidewalk, while an armed police officer was standing nearby.

A witness told the DailyMail: “I was at my partner's house after I went to the gym. We were in his kitchen making some sandwiches and suddenly we heard voices following screams. “We really did not think of anything, as the area can be noisy at times. Soon after we heard what we thought was a firework and so we walked to the front of the house. “Then we saw the body of the gunman and called 999.”

“The Plymouth incident is shocking and my thoughts are with the victims,” Home Secretary Priti Patel wrote on Twitter.
