Police launched a murder investigation after a shooting at a traveller site in Wiltshire on Sunday

A man who was shot and killed at a travellers' site has been named locally as Jimmy Ward, the BBC understands.

Wiltshire Police were called to the site at Calcutt near Cricklade at about 08:15 BST on Sunday to reports that a man in his 30s had been shot.

Two people - a man in his 70s and a woman in her 40s - remain in custody after being arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and possession of a firearm.

Officers are conducting an "urgent" search for another person suspected to be the perpetrator, who may have left the county.

A cordon remains at the site which is likely to be in place over the coming days, police added.

Anyone with information about the incident has been asked to contact police.
