Description
Derrick Bird's killing spree on June 2, 2010, shocked the nation. On that ordinary Wednesday morning, he murdered his twin brother and their family solicitor before embarking on a rampage through several villages in Cumbria. As he drove through Egremont, Gosforth, and Seascale, Derrick opened fire at passers-by, leaving a trail of death and destruction. The police received over 50 emergency calls in just three-and-a-half hours, prompting them to advise people to lock their doors and stay indoors. Eventually, the gunman took his own life in the woodlands. The consequences of Derrick Bird's actions will be felt for years to come as families and friends struggle to come to terms with what he did on that fateful day.
