    Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in County Durham.

    Officers were called to an address in Elm Street, Stanley, at about 5.20pm on Saturday after reports of a “disturbance”, Durham Constabulary said.

    A man in his 50s was found to have been shot and despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene.

    His family have been told and are being supported by specially trained officers.

    Specialist crime scene investigators are at the scene, and officers are carrying out house-to-house enquiries.

    A cordon is in place and is expected to stay there for some time.

    Detective Superintendent Neil Fuller said: “This is a truly shocking incident in which a man has been shot and has sadly died.”

    He added: “Residents may see an increased police presence in the area. I would like to thank them for their support while we carry out this investigation.

    “Our thoughts are with the man’s family at this time.”

    Durham Constabulary has urged anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage or CCTV to contact the force.
