The week in pictures
A selection of snapshots taken from the Express & Star across the last week.
One of Wolverhampton's biggest murder inquiries in years was underway after a man died after being shot at a pub. The 26-year-old was shot at the Bagot Arms in Whitmore Reans at 1.45am today. He was rushed to New Cross Hospital, but later died.nextpage
It is thought he took a single bullet to the chest. Today the pub in Newhampton Road West was sealed off and scenes of crimes officers were combing for evidence.
One close friend, who did not want to be named, said Mr Harris had only popped into the pub briefly to see a friend when a man began waving a gun around.
When Steven and Marie Wright managed wanted to speed through the purchase of their new home at the end of last month, they told solicitors to leave a spectacular giant model train set, which had belonged to the previous owner, in the loft.
Mr Wright, a 36-year-old self-employed manufacturer, said: "It belonged to the previous owner of the house who died. He had obviously put so much effort into it that it seemed a real shame to just take a hammer to it. It is really impressive and takes up the whole loft, which I would estimate is around 18ft by 10ft." nextpage
