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."

This sort of incident was waiting to happen as predicted by members of the community and previously reported. I do not think the shootings were over a disagreement over the weather forecast. The turf war over drugs an prostitution has been simmering for ages. So a bet then pizzas, Jamaicans/Somalis involved and drugs?

pizza dont worry just because you smoke a little of the herb my friend it does not mean that when people talk bad of drugs it is a attack on you. All seeing eye at a guess is on the right lines. i live no where near broomhall and you still know what goes off down there.the police must take the hard line and start upsetting these people no point come mob handed after the event what do they expect to find the person that pull the trigger sat cleaning the gun

One 20-year-old Broomhall woman said: "Gangs of youths are always clashing - it's to do with drugs. We're terrified to go out" Sounds like it was Drugs
