Police have launched an investigation after a weapon was fired in Woodhouse last night and man was seen in the street with what appeared to be a firearm.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed that officers were called to Woodhouse Street at 6.47pm on Tuesday after several loud bangs were heard in the area. The force said it was reported that a male was seen in the road near the junction with Pennington Street carrying what appeared to be a firearm.
Police are appealing for information as a cordon on Woodhouse Street remains in place on Wednesday. Detectives sought to assure the public that the criminal use of firearms is something they treat "extremely seriously" and promised that extensive enquiries will continue to identify those involved.
