A man who died following a series of firearm incidents in the Scottish Highlands has been named by police as John MacKinnon.
About half an hour later, gun shots were reported at another property in the Teangue area of the island, about eight miles away, where the 47-year-old man was pronounced dead when emergency services arrived.
"But the kind of communities we're talking about here are small, close-knit communities and that sense of devastation will be felt even more acutely." A local who was working at nearby Eilean Donan Castle at the time the horror unfolded told of his fear his children might be caught up in the violence.
"The thoughts of myself and colleagues across Police Scotland are very much with the family and friends of Mr MacKinnon and the three people who remain injured.
