Somerset shootings: On-the-run gunman hands himself into police
Charlie Broadway, 23, the on-the-run gunman wanted in connection with a shooting that left one man dead and another injured, has been arrested after handing himself into police, Avon and Somerset Police said.
But officers now say they are looking for John Broadway, 37, and Donna Broadway, 26.
Detective Superintendent Andy Bevan said: "I would like to thank each and every member of the public who have assisted us with this investigation.
"We are now, however, asking the public to help us locate a further two people involved in the shooting incident in Ilton last night.
"As part of this on-going inquiry we are now also keen to speak to John Broadway, 37, and Donna Broadway, 26, who have yet to come forward.
"John is described as white, with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a thin build.
"Neither are considered to pose any risk to the public but we would urge the pair to contact us directly.
"Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of these two should call us now on 999 and quote log number 1051 of May 5."
Earlier in the day, police warned that a "potentially armed" man was on the run and another has been arrested after a shooting that left one person dead and a second injured.
Broadway posed a risk to the public and should not be approached, following the incident on Thursday night, Avon and Somerset Policesaid.
Detectives said two men were shot at a home near Ilton, north of Ilminster, Somerset, shortly before 8pm.
One died at the scene and a second received "non life-threatening" injuries.
Chief Superintendent Jon Reilly described the "fast-moving investigation" saying: "We're using every necessary resource to investigate these serious offences and our main priority is to locate and arrest Charlie Broadway.
"We have arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with this inquiry and he has been taken into custody."
Police were called after a shooting in Ilton, Somerset
On Thursday, police confirmed that the call had been about a "serious incident involving a firearm which we believe is of a domestic nature".
Mr Reilly said: "Due to the gravity of what happened, Charlie Broadway is potentially armed and as a result poses a risk to the public."
Broadway was missing overnight into Friday morning and police said the situation was "very fluid".
Force incident manager Rob Pearson said earlier in the day that it was a "very tricky and dangerous situation".
