Auldhouse fatal shootings: Police inquiry continues
Police say "significant inquiries" are continuing into a shooting at a South Lanarkshire farm which left two men dead and one seriously injured.
Peter Thompson, who owned Meadowhead Farm, in Auldhouse, near East Kilbride, was shot dead on Tuesday morning.
The 59-year-old's son, John, 36, sustained leg wounds in the incident.
Both men are believed to have been shot by Robert McCormick. The 53-year-old, who was a registered firearms owner, was found dead near the scene.
Police were called to the farm, about three miles south of East Kilbride, at about 08:10 on Tuesday.
Specialist firearms officers searched the area and Peter Thomson was found dead at the scene.
Mr McCormick was found dead a short time later in a car nearby.
The victim's son, John, who was shot in the legs during the incident, was found in Langlands Road, near the Auldhouse Arms pub.
His injuries are not life threatening and the 36-year-old is said to be in a "stable" condition at Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride.
Mr McCormick was not related to the shooting victims.
Police said no-one else was being sought over the incident and there was no danger to the public in the area.
Following the shooting, police confirmed that they were investigating a linked incident several miles away in the Clarkston area of East Renfrewshire.
It is believed that Mr McCormick stayed in the town.
Police said that a man was being questioned as a witness to the first incident and that he was not at the farm when the shootings occurred.
