A Volkswagen Golf that was "riddled with bullets" was found outside a hospital after a man admitted himself to A&E with signs of gunshot wounds. Police believe a "targeted" attack occurred when a man was shot close to the hospital on Sunday evening.
The victim is expected to recover from the incident but police were forced to lock down the A&E facility after shots were reportedly fired on a residential street less than one mile away from University Hospitals Birmingham's Heartlands facility, reports BirminghamLive.
The attack took place just before 7pm on Sunday, April 30, when police say a car on Shaw Hill Road in Washwood Heath, Birmingham, was hit with bullets and later appeared outside the hospital. Cops closed the site over fears of patient safety.
