They declared a “critical incident” but did not provide details of what occurred in the Keyham district of the city. The area has been cordoned off. “Police have confirmed that six people have died in the shooting in #keyham in #plymouth. More people are being treated for their injuries in hospital. Just so unspeakably awful," Plymouth Member of Parliament Luke Pollard tweeted. Emergency services, including air ambulance and senior paramedics, responded to the incident at around 6:10 p.m. local time.
