GP was not told Plymouth shooter had shotgun certificate, inquest hears

Dr Ben Dawson had declined to acknowledge Jake Davison's suitability to own a weapon, inquest hears

Jake Davison's GP was never told that his patient, who went on to kill five people, had been granted a shotgun certificate after the doctor declined to provide an opinion on his suitability to own a weapon, an inquest has heard.

Dr Ben Dawson said he refused because he was not qualified to comment on the assessment of behavioural and personality disorders".
