One of the victims was said to have been a child, according to a tweet from local lawmaker Luke Pollard.a gunman had “kicked in” the front door of a semi-detached house before shooting a young mother and her daughter, who was aged about 5. Turner said she had been told the shooter was armed with a semi-automatic weapon.
One of the female victims had been “treated at the scene for gunshot wounds” but “died in the hospital a short time later,” the statement said.In comments to the BBC, a witness who identified herself as Sharron—apparently the same neighbor who spoke to The Times—described the chaotic moments in further detail.
A 54-year-old man named Robert Pinkerton told PlymouthLive that he heard a “loud bang.” He then “walked around the corner,” he said, where he “bumped into a bloke with a shotgun” and quickly “swerved.”
