A murder investigation has been launched after a man and woman were found dead at a shooting school.
Humberside police were called to White Lodge shooting school on College Road near Thornton Curtis, about 6 miles (10km) south-east of the Humber Bridge in Lincolnshire, at about 3.40pm on Friday after reports of a concern for safety.
When paramedics arrived, the body of a man and a woman were discovered at the property and both were pronounced dead at the scene. There has been a large police presence around the school since Friday.
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
The senior investigating officer, Ch Insp Al Curtis, said: “Inquiries are in the very early stages to establish the circumstances of the man and woman’s death.
“A homicide investigation has commenced, and both deaths are being treated as suspicious at this time until we establish the facts. We can confirm we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this inquiry.
“A scene guard will be in place while we carry out our investigation, and residents will likely observe an increased policing presence in the area as we carry out all lines of inquiry.”
He said both victims’ next of kin had been notified and that they were being supported.
“We would like to reassure local residents there is no risk to the wider public and that we will be conducting house-to-house visits to provide reassurance,” Curtis added
