A masked gun gang ruthlessly hunted down a man at a block of flats, according to shocked neighbours. Up to five shots were fired and the target dressed in just boxer shorts only escaped by jumping from a first floor window, say locals.
Police have confirmed four to five men, dressed in black, opened fire to "intimidate" a resident in one property as they tried to break in.
Police taped off the cul-de-sac in Salford where the incident happened. A cordon was placed outside flats in Ashfield Close, off Seedley Terrace, for several hours. Forensic officers were seen combing a patch of grass within the taped off area, which is near to Buile Hill Park.
