Fox Hill shooting: Pictures and video as details emerge after shooting on Sheffield street.
This was the scene on a residential Sheffield street today after police established a cordon following a reported shooting.
Four police cars and a large van were seen on Cowper Crescent, near Fox Hill Junior School in Fox Hill.
The street was taped off near the intersection with Wilcox Road, and then again further down, with blue and white police tape stretching across the street and officers stationed at both ends.
Police occasionally lifted the tape, allowing residents access to their homes.
People were going about their daily lives this morning, with many gardening outside.
Residents told The Star that police first arrived at the scene yesterday evening, flashing blue lights. One person reported that the number of police cars on the street had increased today.
He continued: “There were police cars, but there didn’t seem to be an ambulance.”
