Multiple shootings are rare in Britain, where gun ownership is tightly restricted and handguns are banned. In 1987, gun enthusiast Michael Ryan killed 16 people in the English town of Hungerford. In 1996, Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and a teacher at a kindergarten in Dunblane, Scotland.

Apparently not that rare.

Did that happen at a firing range, like I mentioned in my post?

Always on the cutting edge, your UK has now moved on to large quantities of fertilizer filling storage units everywhere, courtesy of our very own local homegrown Pakistani terrorists.

Yes, multiple shootings are so passe', as the bombing of airports, subways, and buses pave the way for a new future.
