Major reform of gun laws needed in UK after Plymouth shootings, coroner warns
Maxine Davison, Sophie and Lee Martyn, Kate Shepherd and Stephen Washington were killed in August 2021
Maxine Davison, 51, Lee Martyn, 43, his daughter Sophie, three, Kate Shepherd, 66, and Stephen Washington, 59, were killed in the August 2021 shootings. The coroner said there had been an "abject failure" to adequately train police officers and staff involved in firearms and shotgun licensing decisions over nearly three decades.
Examining the role of the judiciary, Mr Arrow referred to evidence, heard at the inquest, that showed that half of all decisions by Devon and Cornwall Police to revoke or not grant a licence were overturned in a crown court.
