Recommended Posts

Three members of a family have been killed in a shooting near a swimming pool in Lincolnshire.

The BBC understands Lance Hart, 57, his wife Claire Hart, 50, and their daughter Charlotte Hart, 19, were killed in the shooting in Spalding.

Lincolnshire Police had earlier said the suspected gunman was among the dead and said they were not looking for anyone else over the incident.

Police said they believed a shotgun was used.

The shooting happened near the Castle Swimming Pool in Pinchbeck Road at about 09:00 BST.

 

Police also searched a house in the village of Moulton, five miles (8km) from the centre of Spalding.

Speaking on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, the leader of South Holland District Council said he had been told it was believed to be a "domestic incident".

"This looks by all accounts to be a very tragic family incident", Councillor Gary Porter said.

East Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were told to approach the scene with caution and fought to save the three people, who had gunshot wounds.

The air ambulance was also called to the swimming pool.

"Despite the best efforts of everyone at the scene the patients were pronounced dead", an ambulance spokesperson said.
