THE head teacher of Epsom College was shot dead by her husband, before he killed their daughter and took his own life with the same gun, police believe.
George Pattison, who had a gun licence, is believed to have killed Emma Pattison and seven-year-old Lettie at the family home in school grounds.
Mrs Pattison made a distressed call to a family member some time late on Saturday evening, the BBC understands.
By the time the relative arrived, all three were dead.
Surrey Police confirmed the family’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Police said an investigation was being carried out to establish the full chronology and circumstances of the incident.
They confirmed a firearm, licensed and registered to Mr Pattison, was found at the scene and has been recovered by officers.
