Two of the victims of Thursday's shooting were three-year-old Sophie Martyn and her father Lee.

They were killed alongside the shooter's mother Maxine Davison, Stephen Washington and Kate Shepherd, Devon and Cornwall Police revealed earlier on Friday.

Two other people were injured by Jake Davison, when he went on a shooting spree in the Keysham area of Plymouth using a firearm he was licenced to hold.

Davison turned his weapon on himself before the arrival of armed police.

Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer said: "We've never in my time had homicide followed by a rampaging firearms attack on random members of the public and then taking one's life."

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the issue of vetting for gun licences and how the Plymouth gunman came to legally own a weapon should be “properly investigated”.

Asked if he was concerned about vetting processes that allowed Jake Davison to own the gun he used in his shooting spree, Mr Johnson said: “Without prejudging the investigation into what happened in Plymouth, I think that what I can say at this stage is my thoughts are very much with the families of all those who have tragically lost their lives in an absolutely appalling incident.

“The point you raise is a valid one but it needs to be properly investigated and gone into.

“And I think I would just pay tribute to the police and emergency services for the speed and the promptness with which they handled it.”

Asked about online misogyny, the Prime Minister added: “This has just been drawn to my attention, I’m sure that will be something that, I’m appalled by it clearly, but I think this is something that will undoubtedly be part of the investigation and I think we should leave it to them.”

A planned arts event in Plymouth this weekend has been cancelled as a mark of respect following the shootings.

The Hatchling - a dragon puppet taller than a double-decker bus - was expected to emerge from an egg and explore the city's streets before flying off towards the coast.

Organisers hoped the performance would celebrate freedom after lockdown.

In a joint statement, producers Trigger, Plymouth City Council and Arts Council England said: "We understand that this will be disappointing for the many performers and community groups that have been involved in creating The Hatchling and those planning to greet her, and are discussing opportunities to bring the performance to the city when it is appropriate."

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the issue of how the Plymouth attacker came to legally own a gun should be "properly investigated" as he described the shooting as an "absolutely appalling" incident.

Police confirmed gunman Jake Davison held a licence to legally own the gun he used to kill five people before shooting himself.

A candlelit vigil to pay tribute to the victims of Thursday's shooting will be held in a park in Keyham.

The vigil will be held at 21:00 BST in North Down Crescent Park, Keyham, the community's MP has confirmed.

Luke Pollard, MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, urged people from the surrounding area to come together to pay tribute to the victims.

The Theatre Royal in Plymouth has cancelled its performances on Friday night, the venue has announced.

The theatre is one of many places across the city flying the Union Flag at half mast as a mark of respect to the victims of the shooting.

Gunman Jake Davison held a licence for the firearm he used to kill five people before turning it on himself, police have confirmed.

Officers continue to investigate 13 scenes within the cordon in Keyham, which is expected to remain in place throughout much of the weekend, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

Police said earlier Davison had a licence but could not say whether that licence applied to the gun he used.

Witnesses described the gun Davison was using as a "pump-action" shotgun but the type of weapon has not been confirmed by police.

Six people are dead in Plymouth after gunman Jake Davison shot two men, two women and a three-year-old girl before turning the gun on himself.

Volunteers from the Salvation Army have been working in Keyham to support local residents and the emergency services.

Martyn Bellshaw from the charity explained they were "here to talk" to anyone who needed support, as well as provide food and drinks to police officers on scene.

He said there was visible shock in the community and a "sense of people trying to come to terms with the unexplainable".

Mr Bellshaw added: "We're really just here as a presence, to be available if people want to talk or express some of the emotion that they're feeling."

On his YouTube account, now taken down, Jake Davison bemoaned his personal appearance, talked about feeling isolated and his struggle to meet women.

At times he launched into tirades using terms coined by misogynistic online groups of "involuntary celibate" men, known as "incels".

This internet sub-culture encourages men to blame dissatisfaction with their looks, romantic relationships and their lives on women, and the men who succeed in having relationships with them.

Davison refers to these men as "Chads" in his video blogs - and comparisons are not just about personality or confidence, some incels believe they are genetically disadvantaged compared to these men.

He uses other phrases linked to the incel community as well - including "the black pill overdose".

The black pill worldview is essentially the belief that if you're unattractive, you don't deserve love and you are destined to fail and become more unhappy every time you pursue it.

Flowers have been left as tributes to the five people killed and two injured in the Plymouth shooting.

Wreaths and cards have been left near Henderson Place by members of the public and politicians.

The tributes were left in the area where Jake Davison shot and killed his final victim.

Among those placing flowers on Friday afternoon were Lord Mayor of Plymouth Terri Beer and leader of Plymouth City Council Nick Kelly.

One tribute said: "Rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers with you all. A tragic loss. Such beautiful souls. Love to all."

Another wrote: "My thoughts and prayers are with the families experiencing this tragic time. Love to all."

Four adults and a three-year-old girl were killed in a six-minute mass shooting in the Keyham area of Plymouth on Thursday evening - the worst such event in Britain since 2010. Two more people were injured.

The attacker, named by police as 22-year-old Jake Davison, later turned the gun on himself.

Plymouth City Council has confirmed the city's iconic Smeaton's Tower lighthouse will be lit up purple in tribute tonight.

Council leader Nick Kelly said: "As a mark of respect for the victims, tonight we will also be lighting Smeaton’s Tower – a beacon of light – on a very dark, dark day for Plymouth."

The former lighthouse is one of Devon's major landmarks, located in the south of the city on the Plymouth Hoe.

A primary school has opened its doors to the Keyham community in the wake of the shooting, one of its governors said.

Father Richard Silk said Ford Primary School's headteacher and staff had come together to create an "open space" for people in the area.

He said: "Ford School is a very powerful place in our community.

"Generations have come here and this is a natural focal point for people to ask questions and to seek information."

The parish priest for St Bartholomew and St Mark emphasised the school's existing place in the community carrying out social work in surrounding areas.

"We have people here who are trained in dealing with certain crises and to answer people's questions in times of distress," he said.

Residents in the Keyham area of Plymouth have talked about the "shock" felt in the community following the shooting on Thursday which left six people dead.

Claire Benstead said her husband was driving their daughter in the area at 18:20 BST Thursday, about 10 minutes after the tragic events began.

She said: "He witnessed the aftermath, saw a body on the floor and people waving their arms saying 'don't come down this way there's a shooter'.

"It's a big shock for everybody.

"Nothing has ever happened like this, especially a gun, we do get some crime but nothing like this."
