Michelle Posted August 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Two children were among 10 people hurt in a shooting in the Moss Side area of Manchester, which police are treating as attempted murder. They were injured with what police believe was a shotgun with "pellets in its rounds" at a street party in Claremont Road at about 02:30 BST. Nine victims had "pellet-type wounds" and a man suffered a broken leg. The shooting took place at a party held after the first day of this weekend's Caribbean Carnival in Alexandra Park. The victims, including two children over the age of 12, with "pellet-type wounds" were not seriously injured but the man with the broken leg was in a serious condition. Another two people attended hospital later on Sunday to be "checked over" but their injuries are not thought to be serious, police said. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45160462 Rather surprised to see the BBC report this.

Black Monk Posted August 12, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Moss Side is right near to where the Beetham Tower, the tallest building in Britain outside of London, is situated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
