She could not say to how many shootings could be expected over coming days and weeks, but "what I can speak to is conversations I've been having with police to say how deeply distressed I am that these are happening".

In fact it is a far less safe country than it was 3 years ago” said Forsyth. "Far be it for us to tell the government how this should be done, but it is clear that the government has been poorly advised in their arms legislation.

"I was out there by the back door of the garage and I heard the shooting so I thought I'm not going to go out there and let them see me. "That's how I know that bloke [the father] ... He came out of the house soon as the shooting happened. I think there's some bullet holes in the fence as well." They were over there evidently," King said.
