A number of people have been killed and others injured after a gunman opened fire in several areas of west Cumbria.
Police believe they have found the body of the suspected gunman, Derrick Bird. A force spokesman said the 52-year-old's body was found in the Boot area.
A number of people died and others were injured in towns including Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont.
Detectives said Derrick Bird drove into the central Lakes in a Citroen Picasso before abandoning it in the Boot area.
People who live nearby were being urged to stay indoors for their own protection.
Police were initially called after shots were fired in Duke Street, Whitehaven, at 1035 BST.
Eyewitness Peter Watson said he had seen a body lying in the road.
"When I first got here it must have just happened. There was a man lying on the ground with police stood over him and a jacket on him," he said.
BBC Look North Chief Reporter Chris Stewart said that soon afterwards a farmer is believed to have been shot dead in Gosforth, several miles to the east.
A force spokesman said: "We can confirm that a number of people have been injured after shots were fired in the Whitehaven, Seascale and Egremont areas this morning.
"There are a number of fatalities and police are working to identify the individuals and inform relatives. Ambulance crews are in attendance across the area."
The Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in west Cumbria closed its gates as a safety precaution and afternoon shift workers were being told to stay away until the "risk is reduced".
Helicopters were brought in from other forces to help in the hunt for Derrick Bird.
I'm glad they found his body. Thoughts?
