    Officers attended the scene of a domestic property and discovered a man in his thirties, who was dead, as well as a young child with serious injuries.

    They also encountered a man, believed to be in his twenties, and armed police officers discharged a firearm. The man suffered fatal injuries and despite immediate first aid and ambulance crews treating him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

    The young boy was immediately taken to hospital where he remains in a "serious" condition.

    Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt, said: “Our Major Crime Unit continue to investigate the circumstances of this tragic incident.

    “At this time we are not in a position to provide further detail on the exact circumstances of this investigation and it would not be helpful to speculate on why this incident occurred and the full investigations by ourselves and the IOPC will need to run their course.

    “The families involved in this tragic incident continue to be offered support by Thames Valley Police and the IOPC.

    “Members of the public will continue to see an increased police presence in the area as we continue to make our enquiries. We would again ask anyone who wishes to raise concerns then please do so to one of our uniformed officers.

    “We are aware the investigation is causing some disruption to those who live in the area, we are offering support to them and I would like to thank them for their patience."
