Police launched a ******* investigation after a man was shot ***** in Birmingham

A man arrested on suspicion of ******* after a man was shot ***** has been released without charge.

Another man, in his 30s, was found seriously injured and was taken to hospital where he ********, West Midlands Police said.

The arrested man has since been released from the investigation, police said. Officers are continuing to appeal for information about the ********* and have urged potential witnesses to get in touch “urgently”.

Det Ch Insp Laura Harrison said: “This was a tragic incident and we’re working at pace to understand exactly what happened.”

Residents said they heard three gunshots as they sat watching television

Mohammed Faisal, who lives near where a cordon was set up on Rotton Park Road, said he was watching television when he heard gunshots.

He said he heard two shots, shortly followed by a third.

“Five minutes later, I saw the blue lights turn up and I knew something bad had happened,” he said.

“We get a lot of crashes by the junction here, so I wondered if it was that at first but then it became obvious it wasn’t.

“It’s extremely worrying especially when you have children living here like I do. You don’t want something like this happening near your home.”
