Sheffield street sealed off by police after reports of overnight shooting

Ferrars Road, Tinsley, was taped off last night and remains under police guard today while investigations into a reported shooting continue.

Details on the nature of the incident being dealt with by officers have not yet been disclosed by South Yorkshire Police, but worried residents claim there was a gun attack.

Last week a shooting on Clough Road, near Bramall Lane, triggered a murder probe after 30-year-old Khurm Javed, also known as Khuram, was killed.
