Somerset shooting: Suspect Charlie Broadway sought by police after one person killed in 'domestic incident'

A "potentially armed" man is on the loose in Somerset after a shooting which left one person dead and another injured.

Charlie Broadway, 23, poses a risk to the public and should not be approached, following the incident on Thursday night, Avon and Somerset Police said.

Detectives said two men were shot at a home near Ilton, north of Ilminster, Somerset, shortly before 8pm.

One was pronounced dead at the scene and a second is being treated for "non life-threatening" injuries.

Chief Superintendent Jon Reilly said: "A full investigation is under way into this serious incident involving a firearm which we believe is of a domestic nature.

"We're using all necessary resources to trace 23-year-old Charlie Broadway in connection with these offences.

"Due to the gravity of what happened, Charlie Broadway is potentially armed and as a result poses a risk to the public."
