Lake District scene reminiscent of Hungerford and Dunblane tragedies
On August 19, 1987, loner and gun fanatic Michael Ryan went on a shooting rampage in Hungerford. Armed with an automatic rifle, a pistol and at least one hand grenade he shot 16 people dead, including his mother, before killing himself.
His victims included a police officer who tried to tackle him. Another 15 people were also injured.
