"There's a lot like that happening around here, I've got more important things to worry about." This is a sense of the reaction residents gave after a suspected shooting on a street where cars are constantly flying past.
Police closed off Horsedge Street in Oldham on Thursday (July 6) and carried out investigations after a 'suspected firearms discharge' on Wednesday evening (July 5). No arrests have been made and police have launched an investigation.
One man, who wasn't in at the time of the incident, told the Manchester Evening News when asked if neighbours were worried about what had happened that he "didn't think so". "I only heard about it when somebody told me in the shop. No one seems to have been really affected by it, it's just another thing to have happened."
