Girl, four, is killed in shooting | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
A young girl was killed and her mother critically injured when a man shot them both before killing himself. | |
The four-year-old and the woman were found with serious head injuries after neighbours alerted police to a domestic dispute in Aldershot, Hampshire. | |
Despite receiving emergency medical treatment, the girl died at the scene. The man also died in the incident which happened shortly after 1000 GMT. | |
The man's relationship to the child and the woman is not yet clear. | |
Firearm recovered | |
Police were called to the property in Church Hill at 1011 GMT by neighbours concerned about a domestic dispute. | |
The woman was taken to hospital by Surrey Air Ambulance where she remains in a critical condition, police said. | |
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said a firearm was recovered from the property. | |
He said the incident was "domestic" and police were not looking for anybody else. | |
A large cordon was put in place around the end-of-terrace house just off the main high street into the town. | |
Officers also shut off access to Aldershot Manor Park, which is opposite the property. | |
Scenes of crime officers were seen entering the house and a small tent has been erected on the pavement outside. | |
Bouquets of flowers have been left at the house where officers are standing guard. |
