Five people, including a three-year-old girl, were shot dead in the southern English city of Plymouth on Thursday.
The shooter, Jake Davison, is a 22-year-old crane operator who put an end to his life after the kingdom's unusual, deadliest shooting spree in more than a decade.
He was identified as "Insel", a man who hates women because of his failure in love life.
The mass shooting began in the evening last Thursday.
The first victim was a 51-year-old woman that Davidson knew personally.
After shooting her, he fled the house where he was, killing a three-year-old girl along with her 43-year-old family member.
Davidson shot dead two other seriously injured passers-by, entered the park and killed two more people.
At the end of the deadly shooting campaign, five people were found dead.
When police located him, Davidson shot himself.

Devon and Cornwall County Police Chief Sean Sawyer said he did not find a motive for the shooting, but did not define it as an Islamist or other terrorist incident. Police searched the computer of Davison, who held a firearms license. Unlike the United States, the rate of gun owners in the UK is relatively low.
"We believe this incident is related to domestic violence, which spilled into the streets and ended in the deaths of several people in Playtime in particularly tragic circumstances," Sawyer told reporters. He added that police could not determine if Davidson had a diagnosed mental problem, and said that in videos he posted online he described himself as "Insel", said he did not lose his virginity as a teenager and complained that "life has disappointed him".
It was the most serious mass shooting event in the UK since 2010, when a taxi driver from the north of England killed 12 people before shooting himself. The worst documented event in the country's history occurred in 1996,When an armed man shot dead 16 students and a teacher at a local school, he then shot himself.
