manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A manhunt is underway after a woman was seriously injured in a Valentine's Day 'shooting' at a pub in Kent. Emergency services were called to reports of a 'disturbance' at the Three Horseshoes pub in Knockholt, near Sevenoaks, just after 7pm on Friday evening.

There, officers discovered the woman, who is in her 40s, seriously injured. Police have said they are searching for a man they say is known to the victim and had left the area.

A parish councillor in Knockholt, Steve Maines, told the BBC he heard a 'commotion' outside the venue and that he was told someone had been shot. "We were sitting having our Valentine's Day meal when all of a sudden we heard this huge commotion outside in the car park" he said. "We were told someone had been shot, so we had to leave." In the aftermath, nearby residents have described hearing a helicopter overhead.

A blue forensics tent was erected outside the pub, while police cordons remain in place on Main Road and Pound Lane, Kent Live reports.
