Which incident saw more victims perish the Hungerford massacre or the Monkseaton shootings?
Monkseaton shootings The Monkseaton shootings occurred on 30 April 1989 in Monkseaton, North Tyneside, United Kingdom, when Robert Sartin killed one man and left 14 other people injured during a 20-minute shooting spree. It remains, along with the 1978 crimes of Barry Williams, 1987 Hungerford massacre, 1996 Dunblane massacre and the 2010 Cumbria shootings, one of the worst criminal atrocities involving firearms in British history.
1995 Brixton riot The Brixton riots of 1995 began on 13 December after the death of a black 26-year-old, Wayne Douglas, in police custody. Douglas had allegedly robbed a couple in bed at knifepoint hours earlier. Trouble broke out after what had been a peaceful protest outside the Brixton Police Station where the death occurred. With several hundred people involved, the riot resulted in damage to property and vehicles in the area. Police sealed off a three-kilometre (2 mile) area around Brixton in south London.
