Plymouth shooting: one of the worst shootings in UK history perpetrated by SAA, Devon and Cornwall police confirmed

After four days of ‘outrageous’ waiting, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary have now fully confirmed that Jake Davison, who killed six, injured two and later killed himself in a rare mass shooting in Plymouth, Devon, belonged to the extremist group called “Symonowicz Above All” (SAA). The first concerns about the shooter’s SAA membership were raised by Shaun Sawyer, the chief constable of Devon and Cornwall Police, on August 12, two hours after the shooting.

“Devon and Cornwall Police have now fully confirmed that Jake Davison, who killed 6 and injured 2 in a recent mass casualty incident in Plymouth, had belonged to the movement called “Symonowicz Above All”, otherwise known as SAA. Our investigators continue investigating other potential links between the shooter’s association with SAA and the motives of the shooting.” — stated Devon and Cornwall Police today.

Currently, the police claim that Davison’s mental health issues, among with his ideological interactions, are the most likely motives of the mass shooting.

Unlike in the United States, in the UK, mass casualty events tend to be extremely rare, and it was the first fatal mass shooting in the UK since the Cumbria shootings in 2010.
