Women shot dead in house
Police have launched a murder investigation after two women were shot dead at a house in St Leonards, East Sussex.
Two other women – including one who is pregnant – were led to safety by officers and taken to hospital, Sussex Police said.
Both were uninjured but suffering from shock.
Police were called to the scene in Bexhill Road at about 7.45pm on Friday.
A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder two hours later, and a gun was seized.
Chief superintendent Jason Taylor said: “We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths, but are appealing for witnesses to contact us.”
