Four people have been injured after gunshots were reportedly fired during an engagement party in Manchester during the early hours of Sunday morning.

The altercation took place outside an address in Longsight with police believing five shots were fired at about 1am.

Two men are in a serious condition in hospital while a woman and a teenage girl were also injured.

An investigation has been launched and police are investigating whether a report of a car on its roof in Thoresway Road, also in Longsight, shortly after 2am is connected to the shootings.

Greater Manchester Police Superintendent John Harris said: ‘This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

‘Our inquiries are still in the very early stages as we piece together what took place overnight but we are currently at the scene and we are collating any evidence that can aid in our pursuit of who is responsible.’

He continued: ‘We understand that this incident is worrying for the community.

‘We have extra police patrols in place and we will work to find out exactly what has happened and bring those responsible to justice.’
