Derrick Bird a self-employed taxi driver has used his own taxi to create one of the worst massacres in recent British history. Bird killed 12 and wounded 11 during his drive-by shootings before shooting himself. Among the killed was his twin brother David Bird. The dead were all found on close to roads. Queen Elizabeth II is shocked by the event and has issued condolences to the families of the dead and the wounded as well. One taxi driver witnessed the scene and was shot in the back said that he watched Bird shot another driver dead at point blank range.
The police has released a map of the route that Bird had traveled last Wednesday on his rampage. It starts in a little village and takes a trip through the seaside towns while ending up inland further. The police have told us that there has been more then 30 crime scenes that have already been released, this is not including his own home, which is still blocked off. Forensics say that there was 2 weapons used, a shotgun and a .22 rifle with a telescopic sight. Bird was a licensed firearms holder for over 20 years but the police are not sure if the license covers the 2 seized firearms.
Police believe that they have finished searching the route that Bird took and feel that there will be no more victims found. but for the wounded, 8 are still in the hospital. Friends of Birds say "i can't shed any light on it,... He was a decent guy, and I'm sorry for what's happened."
What could cause someone to just randomly go and kill how many people. He had to be very mentally unstable, how did no one see that, and if someone did why didn't they do anything about it. I am sorry for the family of Birds and also for the families that lost loved ones during this terrible massacre.
