British Prime Minister David Cameron has met some of the survivors of the shooting rampage in northern England in which 12 people died.
The newly elected Conservative leader visited a hospital in Cumbria where several of the 11 injured are being treated, and paid tribute to the work of emergency service personnel.
It's still not known why taxi driver Derrick Bird attacked family, friends and strangers before killing himself, but Mr Cameron again warned against any rush to tighten gun laws in a kneejerk response to the shootings.
He said the laws would be reviewed at an appropriate time. Britain's rules on firearms ownership are already among the world's toughest, he says.
Killer had licence for weapons
Home Secretary Teresa May has also warned against a hasty reaction. She says the police will need to complete their investigation before there can be a debate about gun laws.
A shotgun and .22 rifle with telescopic sight were used in the shootings. Police have confirmed that Bird was licensed to own both weapons.
Eight of the wounded are now in a stable or comfortable condition in hospital. The other three have been discharged.
