On Sunday (August 11), detectives said they were investigating to uncover 'the exact timeline of events and who was responsible.' The two victims sustained injuries that were described as non life-threatening.

In an update, police confirmed that no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting and that enquiries remain ongoing.

Neighbours woke up to see a cordon in place at Rosebery Street, off Claremont Road. "It went off at about 10.30pm," one Rosebery Street resident told the M.E.N. "That's when the gun went off. Then people started dispersing."

Detective Superintendent Matt Walker, of GMP, previously said: “We are working hard to ensure a full and thorough investigation that uncovers exactly what occurred during this incident. Thankfully, the victims’ injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, but there could have been worse consequences to this act.

“While the investigation is very much in its early days, we are using all available resources to establish the full circumstances. We are committed to keeping the community safe and our response has already seen further officers deployed to the area for the reassurance of local residents. They will be more than happy to talk to you about any concerns you may have.
