A man is being questioned by police after a baby girl was shot in the head with an air rifle.

Eighteen-month-old Chloe Louise Hutchison is on a life support machine after the incident at her home in St Andrews, Fife.

She is critical but stable at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, where her mother is at her bedside.

Neighbour Frances Stewart, 69, said the baby had recently started walking.

She said: "I just hope she is going to be all right. My thoughts are with her and her mum right now.

"I didn't hear anything at all last night, but later on the police came to the door and said there had been an incident."

A Fife Police spokesman said: "A local man is helping with our inquiries. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in Cupar. "
