    Police appeal for information after gunshots fired at Manchester pub

    Monday, 30 September 2019 11:14

    Police are appealing for information following a firearms discharge in Ashton-under-Lyne.

    At around 8.30pm on Friday 27 September 2019, three men were stood outside the Hare and Hounds pub on Kings Road.

     A blue Audi pulled up outside the pub and a man holding what is described as a handgun got out of the passenger side.

    He fired a shot towards the group, which entered the pub through a window.

    One man ran in the pub and the other two fled.

    The gunman pursued the fleeing men and further shots were fired at the junction of Rowley Street and Kings Road.

    The offender then got back in the vehicle, which was being driven by a second offender, before it drove off in the direction of Rowley Street.

    There were no reports of injuries.

    A scene was put in place outside the pub while further enquiries were carried out.

    Anyone with details should contact the police on 0161 856 9353 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
