Dunblane massacre: father ‘horrified’ by US shootings

A FATHER whose five-year-old daughter was killed in the Dunblane massacre, Britain’s worst act of gun violence, described the Virginia shooting as “horrifying.”

Dr Mick North has campaigned for stricter gun controls in Britain and abroad since losing his daughter Sophie in the 1996 tragedy.

Scout leader Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and their teacher when he opened fire at Dunblane Primary School. He ended the rampage by shooting himself dead.
