Six people have died in a shooting in Plymouth, in south-west England, after a gunman opened fire before turning his weapon on himself.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the incident happened in the Keyham area of the city just after 6pm on Thursday.
“Two men and two women were declared dead at the scene,” police said. “A further male, believed to be the offender, was also deceased at the scene. All are believed to have died from gunshot wounds. Another female treated at the scene for gunshot wounds died a short time later in hospital.”
