Police in Britain are investigating the deaths of two teenagers who appear to have been killed in a double shooting incident in Greater Manchester.

Officers were called to the Lower Broughton area of Salford after receiving reports of gun shots.

They found a 15-year-old girl dead at the scene and a man (18) with gunshot wounds who later died en-route to hospital. The pair are thought to have known each other.

A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: "The investigation is at a very early stage and inquiries are continuing."
