UK PM Cameron meets police chiefs over shootings
London, England (CNN) -- British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday visited the region in northern England where a gunman this week carried out one of the worst gun massacres in recent British history.
Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May were meeting with senior police officers in Cumbria, where taxi driver Derrick Bird, 52, killed 12 people and wounded 11 others before taking his own life.
"We must do absolutely everything to complete this investigation, to make sure that everything is done to make sure that events like this cannot happen again in our country, and to help bring those communities back together," Cameron said Thursday.
Police on Friday formally identified three more victims, all of them retirees who had enjoyed the quiet life of the Cumbria countryside, according to their families.
Kenneth Fishburn, 71, was found dead on a bridge over the river in Egremont, 50 meters (55 yards) from his home, police said.
His family said Fishburn was a "lifetime army man" who had served 25 years with the Durham Light Infantry, traveling all over the world. He served another five years as a reservist, serving abroad six months each year with U.N. peacekeeping forces.
Fishburn had lived in the picturesque market town for more than 20 years, his family said.
"Ken was a brother, brother-in-law and uncle," they said in a statement. "He was a quiet, private man and liked nothing better than a few bets and a game of snooker."
Jennifer and James Jackson, 68 and 67, were found dead on the same road in the village of Wilton. Witnesses said they had been walking to meet each other when they were shot dead moments apart.
James Jackson served in the ambulance service and later worked for an ice cream company. His wife worked in a tax office before working on the ice cream company's accounts, their family said.
