The head teacher at an elite private school in England and her daughter both died from shotgun wounds inside their home on the school’s campus, an inquest heard on Thursday. Emma Pattison, 45, was shot in her abdomen and chest at Epsom College in the southern county of Surrey last month. She was found alongside the body of her 7-year-old daughter, Lettie, who had been shot in the head. Police believe Pattison’s husband George, Lettie’s father, murdered the pair before killing himself on Feb. 5. A separate inquest into George’s death earlier this week heard he also died from a shotgun wound to the head. British police previously said a gun legally owned by George had been found at the scene.
