Luke Pollard MP said:

“The incident in Keyham was unspeakably grim. My heart and our nation’s hearts goes out to those who lost loved ones, those who were injured and those who will live with the images of the shooting on their street for years to come.

“There’s no shame in asking for help. Support is still out there if you need it.

“Our community is a strong and because we are strong we will get through this. We will do it together.”
