 Taxi driver Derrick Bird went on a two-hour shooting spree in the towns of Whitehaven, Egremont, and Seascale, which ultimately claimed the lives of twelve people (which included his twin brother, his family solicitor, and a former colleague; the other fatalities are thought to have been targeted at random).Dozens more were injured before Bird turned the gun on himself and committed suicide in a field near the village of Boot.The event also saw the complete lock-down of the Sellafield nuclear processing site, an action unseen in the plant's 50-year history.
