Fatal shooting 'was gang-related' | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A man has died and three others have been injured in what police have described as a gang-related shooting in Sheffield. | |
South Yorkshire Police said the man, who has not been named, was shot dead in Brunswick Street, in the Broomhall area of the city, on Wednesday night. | |
The three other men were taken to hospital for treatment. | |
Police said the shooting was an "isolated and targeted attack" involving two groups of people. | |
Ch Supt Paul Broadbent, who is leading the investigation, told a news conference he believed the shooting to be gang-related. | |
Mr Broadbent said Sheffield did not have a higher rate of gang-related crimes than other cities. | |
He said people had come forward with information about the incident but he was still appealing for witnesses to contact police. | |
One of the injured men is said to be in a serious but stable condition. | |
The other two suffered less severe injuries and were taken to the minor injuries unit at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. | |
The unit was closed on Thursday morning while police carried out investigations there but it has reopened. |
