A MUM-of-two who was shot dead at a pub on Valentine’s Day by a man “known to her” has been named locally.
The victim, believed to be in her 40s, was killed in the car park of The Three Horseshoes in Knockholt, Kent, on Friday.
A suspect’s abandoned vehicle was later found at the Dartford Crossing where it is believed he may have jumped into the Thames and died.
The pair have now been named locally as Lisa and Edvard Stockings.
One source said Lisa had been in the pub with a female friend before she was pronounced dead at the scene following the tragedy.
Landlady Michelle Thomas had been preparing the Valentine’s dinner when she heard two loud bangs she initially thought were fireworks.
Michelle said there was “screaming, shouting, crying” and that the whole community was in shock.
She told Sky News: “There was so much commotion — screaming, shouting, crying.
“People were outside on their phones. We tried to get people inside the pub.
“People were only just starting to sit down, it was early on in the evening.”
Michelle said the victim was not a regular at the pub, where floral tributes were laid yesterday, but had been there before, “mostly in the summer”.
As 30 people were seated for dinner, another 20 customers were in the bar as the incident took place.
After the shooting the suspect drove 17 miles to the Dartford Crossing where Kent Police later found his vehicle with a firearm inside.
It was believed he may have jumped into the River Thames from the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and been swept to his death.
A search for his body continued yesterday.
Cops have confirmed they believe the woman was known to her attacker.
Flowers and tributes have been seen being laid near the car park as a manhunt and investigation is underway.
Residents have described the fear that has rushed through the community since that night.
One resident has told how she heard three loud bangs as the horror unfolded.
Another revealed petrified couples were “locked in” the pub for their own safety.
The villager, who lives close to the pub, said: “I heard three loud bangs and a bit of commotion.”
