Gunmen have killed at least 27 people in an attack on two tourist hotels in a Tunisian town popular with British holidaymakers.

Tourists fled from the beach in Sousse to take refuge in hotel rooms after guns were fired on the beach.

One man said his son saw someone get shot as he raced back to the hotel from the sea.

Photographs seen by Sky News show one man in his 60s or 70s lying in a pool of blood in his swimming shorts.

The country's interior ministry says one gunman has been killed, while another is still on the loose. At least 27 people have been killed.

Tourists are now gathered in hotel reception areas and hiding in rooms as the situation develops.
