Police swarmed the street after a man was shot in the back
Stanley Road in Kirkdale was cordoned off by police on Wednesday, October 25, after a man was shot in the back. The man, in his 20s, took himself to hospital at around 10pm last night with a gunshot wound to his back. He is currently being treated for his injuries.
Police remained at the scene this morning with CSI. One officer said the closure could remain in place all day. Nearby Briar Street was also closed, along with part of Wykeham Street. “We are currently studying CCTV and dashcam footage in the Stanley Road to establish what has taken place and are encouraging anyone who witnessed what happened or has any information to either speak to the officers at the scene, contact us directly or call Crimestoppers anonymously.
This latest incident happened in the same area as another shooting seven months ago, when gunshots rang out at around 4.40pm on March 12 at the junction of Stanley Road and Primrose Street. It was believed a male riding an electric bike had discharged his firearm at two males on pedal bikes.
