An eight-year-old boy has died after sustaining "serious" injuries to his head and face after being shot at a farm.
Cumbria Police said they are investigating the incident, and said they were called to the farm - in the Warcop area - at around 2.50pm on Saturday.
They said they received "a report that a child had been seriously injured by a firearm at the property" and that police and North West Ambulance Service attended.
"The firearm was secured at the scene by police and an eight-year-old boy was taken to hospital by air ambulance having suffered serious and life-threatening injuries to his head and face," they said.
"Sadly, the boy has died overnight."
Cumbria Police added officers arrested a man in his 60s at the scene on suspicion of assault GBH.
He was taken into police custody and arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter, but later released on bail.
