Not trying to spam up the forum but there's been a lot of news lately.
A farmer was being quizzed by police tonight after a man was shot dead and another seriously injured following a suspected burglary. He has been arrested for murder and attempted murder and although his identity is known he will not be identified here.
Officers were called to reports of a break-in at a remote Peak District farmhouse early this morning.
They found a man with fatal injuries inside the property and another seriously hurt in the road outside around 1:20am. Both had been shot.
Officers cordoned off a large section of a country lane, in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, and launched a murder investigation.
The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment and arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. A third suspect was also arrested on suspicion of the same offence this afternoon after being stopped by police in a vehicle on the A6, near Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Neighbours said the incident appeared to have been a 'burglary that went wrong.'
A woman, who lives close by the farm, said: "The farm is in a remote location, quite deep in the valley and set back from the main road. I suspect it was an opportunistic burglary that has gone wrong."
Tony Martin, a farmer who famously also shot two burglars at his isolated farm in 1999, killing one.
Maybe the third burglar is lucky shotguns (usually) only go up to two barrels.
