Police have confirmed gunshots were fired twice as violence flared outside a pub in north Manchester.
Officers were first called to the scene on Glendower Drive on the Irk Valley estate in the Collyhurst area at around 3pm on Sunday (March 12) to reports of a 'disturbance' outside a premises. A Manchester councillor and local residents claimed up to 10 men were involved in a huge fight outside The Vine pub.
Detectives believe that in connection with this 'violent disorder', gunshots were fired towards a car at the nearby junction of Queens Road and Rochdale Road. More shots were then blasted on Parkstead Drive shortly after.
