Police are investigating the suspicious death of an elderly woman in Portaferry.
Noreen Troupe, 73, was found dead at her home in High Street on Friday afternoon.
One man has been arrested.
The Alliance MLA for the area, Kieran McCarthy, said the community is in mourning. He added: "You do not expect to hear of this happening in your own locality or neighbourhood.
"Where the lady lived was just opposite the Portaferry Integrated School on the High Street. It is probably the busiest street in the town.
"It comes as an awful shock. People are devastated."
