Witnesses told the BBC the woman had been shot, but this is yet to be confirmed by police.
Steve Maines, a parish councillor in Knockholt, told the broadcaster: “We were sitting having our Valentine’s Day meal when all of a sudden we heard this huge commotion outside in the car park.
“We were told someone had been shot so we had to leave.”
A message posted on the Three Horseshoes’ Facebook page said it will remain closed on Saturday following a “tragic incident outside the pub last night”.
