'There seems to be a lot of incidents recently - it needs action at a higher level' - Wolverhampton residents react to latest shooting
Wolverhampton residents are calling for further action after yet another shooting in their local area occurred overnight.
West Midlands Police have launched a murder investigation after officers were called to Lilleshall Crescent, in the Graiseley area of the city, at around 12.15am, to reports of a shooting.
A man, aged 30, was pronounced dead a short time later.
The incident follows a spate of other shooting incidents in the city in recent weeks - including a 19-year-old being rushed to hospital with a gunshot leg wound from a shooting in Peel Street Car Park and two men being fatally shot inside a vehicle in Whitmore Reans.
Now, residents are demanding more action against gun violence in the city at a 'higher level'.
Daniel Renshaw who lives in Phoenix Park which was itself the scene of an assault in which a man died this week said: "There seems to be a lot of incidents within a one mile radius recently.
"I moved here from Manchester ten years ago and have only really noticed an upturn in incidents, shootings or assaults in the last few years.
