When guns are outlawed…
Via Daily Star:
Police were alerted to the shooting at about 2.30am on Sunday morning after shots were heard on Claremont Road.
A “large number” of armed and unarmed officers raced to the street where they found several people suffering from gunshot wounds.
It happened after the popular Caribbean Carnival of Manchester took place on Saturday.
Paramedics took the victims – including two children – to a nearby hospital where they are being treated for minor and critical injuries.
Police confirmed they have not been made any arrests and are still trying to catch the shooter.
Footage reportedly showing the aftermath of the incident has been posted on social media.
The video appears to show a panicked group of people being helped by police.
As a voice cries out, shouts of “move” can be heard, while another voice asks “can you hear me”.
A number of people were in the area following the Caribbean Carnival, which had finished some hours before, the force added.
Residents said a street party was held there annually following the carnival and music was often played into the early hours of the morning.
Youth worker Kemoy Walker said he had been on the main stage at the carnival, which finished at about 8pm, on Saturday and had been at another street party on Claremont Road until about 11.30pm.
He said: “The party I was at was beautiful. When I left there was lovely dancing. That’s Moss Side, that’s the culture. I’m in shock this morning.”
