Man arrested after gun fired inside Sheffield bar

The shooting happened during an assault at Kettle Black on Ecclesall Road, across the street from Marks & Spencer, last night, Friday, January 10.

Police said a man reportedly walked into the cocktail bar just before 11pm and assaulted a 36-year-old man.

He is said to have hit the man with a handgun, which at some point during the incident was reportedly fired into the ground.

The victim was taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries, which police said were not caused by the shooting.

A 24-year-old man was detained by police in connection with the incident shortly afterwards and arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and bladed article and currently remains in police custody.

Police said he remained in custody this afternoon.

A video shared online appears to show a scuffle at the entrance to the bar, which is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights, before what sounds like a gunshot can be heard.

When The Star visited the scene this morning there was no sign of any gunshot damage evident, and there were no police officers or police tape.

South Yorkshire Police said enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting the incident number 955, of January 10. You can also call Crimestoppers, free and anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
