Following the shooting of a woman officer during a pub robbery, a man has been arrested and detained whilst investigations are under way.

Police dog handler, Katie Johnson had been sent to report on a raid at Preston's Hosptial Inn, when she was shot at repeatedly, suffering 12 pellets to her leg by a man in a balaclava who had ignored her colleagues orders to drop his weapon.

Searches are under way for a second man in what police say is "an incredibly serious situation". With Lancashire Police's Acting Assistant Chief Constable Jerry Graham saying: "This was an incredibly violent incident - the level of violence was extreme."
