A three-year-old girl was one of five people killed in the Plymouth gun massacre, with the other victims including survivors ranging between 33 and 66.
The three-year-old girl and a related 43-year-old man were shot dead by Jake Davison during a six-minute rampage in which he also killed two women, aged 51 and 66, and a 59-year-old man
Two other people - a 33-year-old man and 53-year-old woman - survived with "significant" injuries and continue to receive treatment in hospital following the UK's first mass shooting in 11 years.
Davison, 22, killed himself with his shotgun as police closed in, just days after he posted a YouTube rant complaining about being a "f***ing fat" and "ugly" virgin, and calling himself "the Terminator".

Thursday evening's murder spree began just after 6pm when Davison shot and killed the 51-year-old woman, who was known to him, at a property in Biddick Drive in the Keyham area.
Chief Constable Shaun Sawyersaid police believe Davison had a familial relationship with the first female victim, but he did not yet know of any formal relationship between the gunman and the other victims.
There were 13 crime scenes in total.
After killing the first woman, Davison went outside and “immediately” shooting dead the girl and her 43-year-old relative.
Using what was described as a “pump action shotgun”, apprentice crane operator Davison then shot and killed another man, aged 59, in nearby parkland.
After shooting and fatally injuring a 66-year-old woman in Henderson Place, Davison turned the weapon on himself, said Devon and Cornwall Police.
Armed and unarmed officers arrived at the scene six minutes after receiving multiple calls from the public, but Mr Sawyer said Davison had shot himself before they were able to engage with him. He was reported dead at 6.23pm.
Mr Sawyer told reporters: "We believe we have an incident that is domestically related, that has spilled into the street and seen several people in Plymouth losing their lives in extraordinarily tragic circumstances.”
At a press conference in Plymouth on Friday, he said Davison also shot two other local residents in Biddick Drive who are being treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries. They are aged 53 and 33, and are known to each other.
The chief constable said a firearm – described by witnesses as a pump action shotgun – was recovered from the scene.
Police confirmed Davison was a licenced firearm holder but it is not yet known whether that gun was used in the shooting.
He added: “Multiple shots have been fired from a firearm during that six-minute-or-so period.
“There are some 13 scenes and potentially more scenes.
“There are therefore five people of Plymouth who have lost their lives overnight – and Mr Davison himself – including a particularly young child.”
He said the two people in hospital “received significant injuries”, but were the only victims to receive non-fatal injuries.
The force is looking at Davison’s social media output as part of the investigation.
Mr Sawyer said: “This is an extraordinarily unusual response by a fellow human being.
“Whether there were mental health issues I cannot say at this time.”
In a July 28 video on his YouTube channel, where he used the name Professor Waffle, Davison said he did not have “any willpower to do anything anymore” and discussed the misogynistic “incel” movement.
He also “liked” a series of videos about guns, and shared posts on Facebook quoting former American president Donald Trump as well pictures of a statue holding a rifle with the US flag in the background.
In an 11-minute video, which appears to be the last posted before Thursday’s rampage, Davison refers to difficulties meeting women and struggling to lose weight, as well as saying that, after working in scaffolding when he was younger, he was “never … the same again” after injuring his ankle.
He said: “I just don’t have any willpower to do anything anymore”, later adding that he was so “beaten down and defeated by f****** life”.
Although saying he did not “clarify” himself as an “incel” – the abbreviation used online for “involuntarily celibate”, for those unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one – he talked about “people similar to me have had nothing but themselves”.
YouTube deleted the account on Friday.
He also appears to have signed up to “IncelTV” on YouTube, which calls itself a channel for “black pill and lookism content” and has more than 17,000 subscribers. Lookism is described as a prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s appearance.
Incel culture has been associated with killings and acts of violence, particularly in the US.
