Mother of Plymouth shooter reported him to Prevent anti-terror scheme

Maxine Davison, who was killed with four others, voiced concerns before Jake Davison successfully applied for shotgun licence

The mother of Jake Davison, who shot her and four other people dead in Plymouth, Devon, had reported him to the government's counter-terrorism Prevent programme months before he applied for a shotgun licence, a coroner has heard.

Maxine Davison, 51, contacted the programme in November 2016 with concerns about her son but Davison applied for a shotgun certificate in July 2017 and a certificate was issued to him in January 2018.
