A candlelit vigil was held in Plymouth in southwest England on Aug.13, after a shooting that left at least six people dead on Thursday.

The alleged attacker killed his mother Maxine Davison, aged 51, after what police believe began with a domestic dispute. Further victims included a three-year-old girl, Sophie Martyn, and her father Lee Martyn, 43. Stephen Washington, aged 59, and Kate Shepherd, aged 66 also died in the attack.

Devon and Cornwall Police named the shooter as Jake Davison, a 22-year-old Plymouth resident.

On Saturday, Britain's Home Secretary Priti Patel visited Plymouth.

Flowers and toys were left at a makeshift memorial near the area where the first three victims were shot.

Mass shootings are rare in the United Kingdom, where gun ownership is relatively low, and Thursday's six-minute rampage was the worst such incident in more than decade.
