Police have confirmed that shots were fired on a street in Oldham last night after residents reported hearing a 'loud bang'.
Officers were scrambled to Ripponden Road just before 6pm on Friday. A cordon was put in place on nearby Broadbent Road where Greater Manchester Police said previously that 'an incident may have occurred'.
Following investigations and after forensic officers scoured the area, the force issued an update this afternoon. It has now been confirmed that a firearm was discharged.
