Starting in the early morning of June 2, 2010, a lone gunman, Derrick Bird,  a Whitehaven cabbie, went on a shooting spree through the rural streets of Cumbria, England and by the time he ended it all by taking his own life, he had shot to death 12 people and injured 11 more… ranking it as one of the worst mass murders in the history of the UK…
