In a shooting on Vallentine’s Day outside a village pub in Kent, a woman in her 40s died as the police continued to search for the accused involved in the incident.
Kent Police stated that it was treating the shooting of a woman as a murder inquiry. The shooting took place at three horseshoes on main road, Knockholt, just after 7pm GMT on 14 February.
Police said that the suspect, who is being considered a man, was known to the victim and added that the woman, who had gunshot wounds, died at the incident site itself.
While the investigation was ongoing, the police found a gun inside a stranded vehicle on the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which crosses the River Thames at nearby Dartford.
Detective Chief Inspector David Higham said that a call was received by the handlers about a man at the wrong side of the barrier on the bridge.
Higham said, “We are not ruling out the possibility that he may have entered the water. We are currently only looking for one suspect and do not believe there to be an ongoing risk to the public. Specialist officers continue to work with the families of both parties involved to support them following this tragic incident,” quoted BBC.
The Guardian reported that neither the victim nor the accused belonged to Kent but had local connections to the area.
