A man has been left seriously injured after being shot by police carrying out an arrest for an outstanding warrant.<\/p>\n

Officers attended a property in Ashford Road, Hollingbourne, at about 19:15 BST on Monday to carry out the arrest.<\/p>\n

Kent Police said on Tuesday that one of its officers used a firearm to shoot the man and confirmed that the incident was not related to terrorism.<\/p>\n

The man, aged in his 30s, was taken to hospital with what are thought to be life-changing injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Police said that while the incident was not terror-related, an explosive ordnance disposal team was on scene “to make the area safe”. <\/p>\n

Additional units, including firearms patrols, were also present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Officers were called to an incident close to The Park Gate Inn in Hollingbourne on Monday evening <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

A spokesperson for the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the agency had opened an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

They said: “We have sent investigators to the scene. Our investigation is in the very early stages.<\/p>\n

“The man is receiving treatment in hospital for his injuries which are thought to be life changing.”<\/p>\n

A Kent Police spokesperson said the force was supporting the IOPC’s inquiry. <\/p>\n

The shooting happened near the The Park Gate Inn, which posted on its social media to “reassure everyone that nothing happened in the pub itself”, rather at a house nearby.<\/p>\n

Owners said the pub would reopen when emergency services allow.<\/p>\n

The stretch of the A20 outside the pub, leading up to the Leeds Castle roundabout, remains closed, with traffic diverted along the B2163.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
