A man has died and three people have been injured in a series of shootings around Skye.
Police Scotland were initially called to a report of a 32-year-old woman being injured at a property in Tarskavaig, on Skye, shortly before 09:00.
Officers were then called to an incident about eight miles away (13km) in Teangue at about 09:30.
Police said a gun was fired and a 47-year-old man died at the scene.
Officers were later called to an incident in Dornie, near Kyle of Lochalsh on the Scottish mainland, where a gun was also fired.
A man was seriously injured and taken to hospital in Inverness, while a woman was taken to hospital on Skye.
Police said the incidents were linked and a 39-year-old man had been arrested. He has also been taken to hospital.
The rescue operation saw multiple ambulances, air ambulances and special rapid retrieval emergency teams, which are only summoned for incidents in rural locations when people are in critical need of medical attention.
