Keyham shooting: Plymouth Argyle FC to hold minute silence at tomorrow's League One match
Flags will fly at half-mast, as fans return to Home Park for their clash against Gillingham
Plymouth Argyle's League One match against Gillingham tomorrow (Saturday 13 August) will begin with a minutes silence in memory of the shooting victims killed in Plymouth.
On Thursday night (12 August), 22-year-old Jake Davison shot five people dead in the Keyham area.
A 'very young girl' was among the victims and two other people who were shot are being treated in hospital.
The shooting tragedy has led to outpourings of sympathy and offers of help from across the local community.
Plymouth Argyle say they are "deeply shocked and saddened" by last night's events:
"Our heartfelt condolences go out to all those affected.
"We would also like to thank the emergency services for their quick and brave actions in responding to this terrible incident.
"Our flags at Home Park Stadium are flying at half-mast and we will be making some changes to our scheduled program ahead of tomorrow’s match with Gillingham.
"We will no longer hold a minutes applause pre match as planned, instead a minutes silence will be held and our planned celebratory pitch walk with Gary Sawyer and Luke McCormick will now take place at a later date.
"We feel that posting ticketing, retail or any other promotional social media posts ahead of tomorrow’s game would not be appropriate, so the club will take a period of silence on its social media channels until midday tomorrow, when game specific information will begin."
