Photo shows shattered glass at scene of 'drive-by shooting' in Sheffield

A 21-year-old man remains critically wounded after being shot in the chest on Grimesthorpe Road in Burngreave yesterday afternoon, Thursday, April 16.

One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, says she understands two cars were involved and the man was shot while he was in one of those vehicles.

“Their friend took them out onto someone’s garden so they could be helped, and all the cars drove off leaving the shot man in the hands of people there.

“There seems to have been another incident related on Bressingham, which I think was just before the shooting.

“Staff from the care home ran across to help too.”
