| Northiam shooting: Seven-year-old girl dies in hospital | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A seven-year-old girl, thought to have been shot in the head by her father in East Sussex, has died in hospital. | |
| Mary Shipstone died at 14:56 BST in King's College Hospital in south London where she was flown after the shooting on Thursday afternoon. | |
| The body of Yasser Alromisse, believed to be Mary's estranged father, was found at the scene. Sussex Police said a gun had been recovered. | |
| Mr Alromisse did not live with the family, in the Spring Hill area. | |
| His body was found in a car parked on a driveway next to Mary's home. A vehicle, thought to be that car, was taken away on a lorry on Friday evening. | |
| The area around the scene has been cordoned off since the shooting, which happened at about 16:00 BST. | |
| "This is a fast-moving investigation and there are still a large amount of inquiries being carried out before we can confirm the full picture of what happened," said Det Chief Insp Jason Taylor. | |
| "We are currently trying to establish Mr Alromisse's movements over the last few days and are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard from him. | |
| "At this time however, I am not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation and believe this to be an isolated incident." |
