Stephen Washington was among five gunned down by Jake Davison.
Two huskies belonging to one of the victims of the Plymouth gunman ‘ran home to alert his family’ after he was shot.The 22-year-old killer murdered his mother MaxineMr Washington was reportedly walking down Biddick Drive with his pets when Davison appeared and began shooting ‘at random’.: ‘Both the dogs ran back to Stephen’s home and that’s when the family became concerned.‘He wasn’t friends with Jake and there’s nothing connecting them so we think it was completely random.
After killing his 51-year-old mother in a house, he went outside and shot dead Sophie Martyn, aged three, and her father Lee Martyn, aged 43. In the 12-minute attack witnessed by horrified onlookers, Davison then killed Mr Washington, 59, in a nearby park before shooting 66-year-old Kate Shepherd, who later died at Derriford Hospital., in Biddick Drive. They suffered significant injuries but are expected to recover.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for the issue of how the shooter came to legally own a gun to be ‘properly investigated’ and described the shooting as an ‘absolutely appalling’ incident.
