Over three-and-a-half hours, terror spread across Cumbria leaving death and injury in its wake.
Leaving his home in the village of Rowrah shortly before 10am yesterday, Derrick Bird's first victim is thought to have been his twin brother David, with whom he had rowed over a will.
David Bird was shot in High Trees, Lamplugh, shortly before family solicitor Kevin Commons (60), was gunned down on the driveway of his home in Yeat House Road, Frizington.
From there, Bird travelled to Whitehaven where, shortly before 10.30am, he shot fellow taxi drivers in Duke Street, killing Darren Rewcastle.
Eyewitnesses called police and, as Bird was seen driving through the town with his gun hanging out of the window, residents and tourists in his projected path were urged to stay indoors.
But some did not get to safety in time.
Bird shot and killed Kenneth Fishburn, a retired Sellafield worker in his 60s, on the old bridge in Egremont shortly after 11am. Susan Hughes, thought to be in her 60s, was also killed in the town as she walked home with her shopping. She was found lying in the street in Orgill, Haggard End, Egremont, with her shopping still in her hands.
Then as Bird headed to the village of Wilton, a retired couple who were talking to others in the street became his next victims in Town End Farm.
He is believed to have honked his horn before turning round and fatally shooting Jennifer Jackson. Her husband James, who used to work for the ambulance service, had been talking to another couple but was shot dead as he came looking for his wife.
And part-time mole catcher Isaac Dixon was in conversation with a farmer near Carleton Wood when Bird shot him dead at the edge of a field.
Later in Gosforth, Bird shot rugby league player Garry Purdham at point blank range as he worked in a field.
As Bird travelled along the B5344 towards Drigg Road in Seascale, cyclist Michael Pike (64), and Jane Robinson, in her 70s, who was delivering home shopping catalogues, were both killed.
Bird also opened fire on 23-year-old estate agent Jamie Clark, who was driving through Seascale at the time. It was unclear whether it was one of Bird's bullets or the resulting crash in Gosforth Road which killed him.
A landlord, named locally as Harry Berger, was also shot in the arm in Seascale.
Shortly after 1pm, police revealed Bird abandoned his car near the hamlet of Boot, and his body was found in a wooded area nearby at 1.40pm.
