Sheffield shooting: Everything we know after man is serious injured as gun is fired at Lamborghini

- Police were called to Ecclesall Road at around 1.40am on Monday, February 7 to reports that a 20-year-old man had been shot.

- The man is believed to have been travelling down the road in a black Lamborghini, when shots were fired towards the vehicle.

- He is understood to have fled the scene, travelling towards Whirlow, and arrived at Whirlowdale Road, Whirlow, a short time later where he got out of the Lamborghini and got into a white Rolls Royce, which had two others in the vehicle.

- From there, the three men travelled in the Rolls Royce to Sheffield Rugby Club, from where they called the emergency services.

- Police confirmed earlier today that the 20-year-old victim has been left with ‘serious injuries’ following the shooting.

- It appears the men were chased after the victim got into the Rolls Royce because police have confirmed that gunshots ‘consistent with a firearms discharge’ were found on the vehicle, suggesting a car chase.

- The two others in the Rolls Royce did not receive any injuries, however.

- Gunshot damage were also found on the Lamborghini which was recovered by officers on Whirlowdale Road.

- Cordons have been in place on both Ecclesall Road, one of the city’s busiest roads, with one lane closed all morning; and on Whirlowdale Road, Whirlow, near to the junction with Whirlow Green.

- The cordons have resulted in significant traffic delays on both roads.

- Ecclesall Road residents have described their shock at seeing a police cordon first thing this morning.

- One said: “One of our friends went to work at 5am, and she said they were there at 5am – she just said something must have happened.”

- Another said he had not heard anything in the night, and was shocked to see police had sealed part of the road off. “You don’t see this round here very often,” he said.

- A resident on Whirlow Green, whose property overlooks Whirlowdale Road said they believed the Lamborghini had been left on the road ‘since around 2.30am this morning’.

- A grass verge on the edge of the cordon on Whirlowdale Road has been damaged, with what appear to be tyre marks.

- South Yorkshire Police confirmed that Specialist officers have been deployed to Ecclesall Road as the search for those responsible for the shooting continues.

- Speaking earlier today, Detective Superintendent Paul Murphy said: “I know how distressing and worrying this incident will be for the local community and that of the wider Sheffield community.

“Please know that our investigation continues at pace and we have a dedicated team of officers working tirelessly to establish the exact circumstances of what took place this morning that led to a man being seriously injured.
