A major road in Sheffield has been cordoned off by police this morning, Friday, July 24, after a dog was shot.

Part of Abbeydale Road is sealed off, close to the Pitt Stop Tyres garage at the junction with Farrar Road, and a number of police vans and cars are at the scene.

There is also a section of pavement cordoned off slightly further south on the road including the bus stop outside Fading Away Barber.
