A woman has suffered serious injuries following reports of a shooting at a pub.
Police say they were called to a “disturbance” at the Three Horseshoes pub in Main Road, Knockholt, near Sevenoaks, shortly after 7pm.
A woman in her 40s was seriously hurt, while a man believed to be known to her, who has yet to be found, is being treated as a suspect.
A man whose daughter was in the pub at the time told KentOnline there had been a shooting.
Both Main Road and Pound Lane have been sealed off by officers, and a blue tent can be seen erected near the pub.
Forensics have also been spotted in the area, and a helicopter can be heard overhead.
Residents have been seen being escorted into their homes.
