A 20-year-old man has been arrested after one man was killed and two wounded in a series of shootings in Somerset, police said today.
Late yesterday, Avon and Somerset police officers responded to reports that a number of shots were being fired in the small market town of Street.
Two wounded men were found in the high street and a dead man was later discovered on a road near the rural town, 100 miles west of London. All had gunshot wounds, and police later recovered a firearm from the scene.
The 20-year-old man is being held on suspicion of attempted murder. Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the shootings.
One of the wounded men was in a serious but stable condition and the other was in a stable condition in hospital, they said.
