A man is fighting for his life after he was shot in the head in the early hours of Monday.
The victim, in his 30s, is believed to have been shot at around 12.50am in Athena Avenue in Waterlooville, Hampshire.
He was rushed to hospital with serious head injuries, according to police.
A man, 37, and a woman, 38, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder at an address in High Lawn Way shortly before 2.30am.
Detective Superintendent Darren Rawlings, who is leading the investigation, said: “This kind of incident is luckily rare in Hampshire and one we take very seriously.
“It is likely local people will see a lot of officers and police activity in the area today as we both look to reassure the community and investigate the crime.
“We currently have two scenes one where the arrests happened and one where the victim was shot.”
