Sheffield shooting scene was like “something out of a film”

Detectives in Sheffield are still investigating following a reported shooting in Ashpool Close, Woodhouse on Friday.

A woman who did not want to be named told The Star: “We heard a bang and thought it was fireworks but there was no flash.

"Then there was another one and we realised it wasn’t fireworks. They were shots.

"A young lass was screaming “there’s blood everywhere.”

“The police came in their unmarked cars and it was like something out of a film.”

"Armed police were pacing up and down with their guns.

"They cordoned it off.”

"The people around here are elderly and disabled – they don’t need it.”

Police were conducting house to house visits on Sunday morning though the cordons had been removed.
