A
shooting in
Manchester has seen 10 people shot after a
gunman went on the rampage in
Moss Side.
Shots were fires on Claremont Road just hours after the Caribbean Carnival taking place in the area had finished.
Greater Manchester Police were called at 2.30am this morning, with armed and unarmed police rushing to the scene.
Footage appearing to show the aftermath of the shooting was posted on social media.
The video shows a panicked group of people being helped by police.
Among the chaos cries and moans from the injured can be heard.
A member of the public shouts "move", while another voice asks "can you hear me?".
The backs of people can be seen crowding around others on the floor as a haze of blue lights can be seen.
People are shouted at to "go back", before the video cuts off.
Police remain in the area today, about two miles south of Manchester city centre, while investigations are ongoing.
They have asked anybody with any information to contact them.
Detective Superintendent Debbie Dooley said: “We currently have a number of people in hospital all being treated for different injuries but thankfully most do not appear to be life-threatening at this time.
“Officers are trying to establish exactly where this incident took place and who is responsible for such a dangerous attack.
“The area is being searched and examined while we are also trying to speak to as many people as possible and are reviewing CCTV to get all the facts.
“The Caribbean Carnival had been taking place earlier that day but had finished several hours prior to this incident occurring, which is why there were still a lot of people in the area.
“Those living or visiting the area will understandably be concerned by this incident and we will have extra officers patrolling the area throughout the morning and into the coming days.
“If you do have any concerns please approach them and they will try and help in any way they can.”
Anyone with any information can call police on 0161 856 4166 quoting incident number 297 of 12 August or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
