Detectives investigating the latest shooting want to hear from witnesses, anyone in the area at the time or anyone who saw anything suspicious.

One shocked resident, a 28-year-old mum-of-two, said: "It is getting ridiculous now this.

"When I first moved here two years ago there was a shooting and I thought 'Oh, no, what have I let myself in for?'.

"I've got two kids, aged three and four, and I just want to move now.

"There was a man stabbed to death at Woodhouse, then a boy killed at Lowedges and now this - all in a matter of weeks."
