During a 24 hour period in the city last month, four men were hospitalised, two homes were damaged and two cars were hit in four separate gun attacks.

Later that day two rival groups opened fire at each other in Machon Bank, Nether Edge, damaging a house and two cars.

Thirty minutes later a gun was fired at a house on nearby Union Road.

All four incidents on Friday, May 8 are being treated as targeted attacks and so far one man has been charged.

Detective Chief Inspector Jamie Henderson, of South Yorkshire Police, said the shootings are believed to be connected to serious organised crime in the city.

Six days later, on Thursday, May 14, a gun was fired in Farish Place, Heeley.

A parked car and a road-sign were found to have been hit by bullets.

Then over the bank holiday weekend at the end of May there were another two shootings.

On Sunday, May 24, shots were fired at a house on Fishponds Road, Woodthorpe, and the following day a gun was fired at a house and parked car on Myrtle Road, Heeley.

DCI Henderson said: “Our investigations into each of the incidents are very much ongoing. I have dedicated teams of officers working extremely hard to identify those responsible and develop the lines of enquiry we have. “We are continuing to carry out proactive operations linked to these investigations, including warrants at various addresses – with the aim of disrupting the organised criminality that we believe is fuelling such violent incidents.“I completely understand that what we have seen in recent weeks on our streets has been unsettling and upsetting for our communities. I want you to be reassured that we are taking action and I am confident we will continue to see arrests and charges linked to these incidents.”
