The shooting took place outside the Three Horseshoes pub on Friday evening
Police are investigating whether a suspect wanted after the fatal shooting of a woman outside a pub on Valentine's Day may have entered the River Thames.
The woman, who was in her 40s, died at the scene of the attack, which happened at the Three Horseshoes on Main Road, Knockholt, in Kent, just after 19:00 GMT on Friday.
Police later recovered a vehicle that contained a gun on the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, which crosses the River Thames, near Dartford.
The force said it was not ruling out the possibility that the man may have entered the water after it received reports of a man "on the wrong side of the barrier".
The woman has not been formally identified but police said her attacker was known to her.
BBC reporter Ben Schofield, at the crime scene in Knockholt on Sunday morning, said more information was "gradually becoming available" on what happened.
Villagers recalled hearing gunshots "ringing out" at around 19:00 GMT on Friday evening.
Police said they are only looking for one suspect and said they did not believe there was an ongoing risk to the public.
