"We understand that this incident may cause concern for the local community and I would like to reassure residents that there is no risk to members of the public.
"The incident has happened inside a property and those involved are believed to have been known to each other.
"Local officers are out and about in the community to offer reassurance and aid the investigation."
Police are appealing for witnesses after a collision in Northumberland that left a driver with serious injuries.

The driver of the first van was left uninjured, but the driver of the second van is in hospital with serious injuries.
Police are now trying to establish the circumstances of the collision and are appealing for anyone who saw what happened to get in contact them.
