Twelve people have been killed and 25 injured by a gunman who opened fire in west Cumbria in the United Kingdom.
The BBC reports that a body thought to be that of the suspect, taxi driver Derrick Bird has been found in the Boot area.
The first fatality was in Whitehaven before the gunman reportedly drove south, apparently shooting people at random.
Witnesses are reported as saying the suspect drove through the town with a gun hanging out of his car window, before heading south through Gosforth and Seascale.
