Details of nine shootings have been released by South Yorkshire Police since January 4.

The day before the Parkgate incident, a 12-year-old boy was shot in his leg when a gun was fired from a car on Errington Road, Arbourthorne, Sheffield, at around 3.45pm.

He was an innocent bystander caught up in a feud between two rival gangs.

Anyone with information on any shootings should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
