Forensic teams were spotted at and near the scene of the mass murder this morning, August 13, 2021. No motive has been announced as of yet by the authorities who have, however, claimed that the tragedy was not terror-related.
Yesterday's tragedy is said to have been the worst mass shooting in U.K. history since 2010, when a taxi driver killed 12 people and injured 11 others before committing suicide in Cumbria, England.
The tragedy occurred just after 6:00 pm Thursday evening in the quiet port town located in southwest England, approximately 190 miles from London.
