An injured woman also died later at Derriford Hospital.
In an updated statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Those deceased were a 51-year-old woman who was known to the offender, a three-year-old girl and a related 43-year-old man, a 59-year-old man, and a 66-year-old woman who later died in hospital.
"The 22-year-old offender who took his own life at the scene is believed to be 22-year-old Jake Davison who lives locally."
"Two other people, a 53-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man who were known to each other were injured at the scene and continue to be treated in hospital. Neither are seriously injured."
In what Devon and Cornwall Police described as a "truly shocking event", Davison, using what was described as a "pump action shotgun", shot and killed another man in nearby parkland. After shooting and fatally injuring another woman in Henderson Place, Davison turned the weapon on himself, the force said.
