Case #019 - The Hungerford Massacre

Welcome to Episode Nineteen of Do You Dare?   Join us this week as Em covers the case of one of the worst shooting massacres to ever take place in the UK.   (Trigger Warning's for possible attempted sexual assault, Gun Violence and Suicide.)   In this episode Em tells us about the tragic events of The Hungerford Massacre where a lone shooter left an idyllic picturesque quiet town in England looking like something out of a war zone.  The actions inflicted by one man on a normal summer’s day would leave sixteen people dead, many more wounded, a community in terror and a nation asking “how come something like this happen in a place like that, and why wasn’t it able to be stopped sooner?”  This case was by all accounts a tragedy however whilst the motives behind it are still heavily debated to this day it did make major changes to gun laws in the UK.  Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's heartbreaking case and we hope to see you back next Tuesday as Cian tells us about a famous Jane Doe who’s case proves that even after countless years it’s still possible to give a victim back their name and possible even find their killer…   If you enjoyed this episode it would mean the world to us if you could take a minute to rate, review and subscribe!  Don't forget you can join in the conversation with us over on social media to share your thoughts and theories.  You can contact us at [email protected] if you want to suggest cases, tell us your personal true crime or paranormal stories to be read out in future listener episodes or just to say hi!   *Ad included at the beginning of this episode is for Macabre Mondays Podcast and you can find them at @macabremondayspodcast on Instagram for more information.*   (sources for this episode were:primarily a BBC documentary on the massacre, BBC news articles, Wikipedia, and a medium article. )
