One dead and three injured in drive-by shooting
ONE man was killed and three others injured with gunshots wounds after a drive-by shooting in a Sheffield suburb last night.
The dead man, who has not yet been named by police, was killed on Brunswick Street, Broomhall, shortly after 6.30pm.
South Yorkshire Police were alerted to the gunfire by shocked members of the public.
When officers arrived at the scene they discovered one man slumped on the ground.
He was declared dead at the scene while the three injured men were taken to the Northern General Hospital by ambulance. They are still in hospital this morning.
The crime scene and all surrounding streets were sealed off last night and remained out of bounds to members of the public this morning.
Police stood guard at the crime while officers flooded the surrounding streets looking for potential witnesses and trying to restore calm.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "A number of cordons are in place around Brunswick Street and police ask public to co-operate with officers at the location.
"Detectives have begun a murder investigation so anyone with information is asked to call 0114 220 2020."
