Family of gun killer ‘baffled’ by his crimes
Derrick Bird, 52, killed his twin brother David and their family’s lawyer plus 10 other people and also injured 11. Most of the killings came as he drove around taking pot-shots at passers-by in the sleepy county of Cumbria.
In their first public comments on the tragedy, Bird’s two sons Graeme, 28, and Jamie, 16, said their father was a “loving, cheerful” man whose death had left them “devastated”.
