Police in the UK are investigating a shooting in the Moss Side area of Manchester, which has left 10 people in hospital.
Armed officers were called to Claremont Road, which was particularly busy following a Caribbean Carnival.
The victims' injuries range from minor to major, although none are in a life threatening condition.
Police are now searching the scene as they try to work out who was behind the attack.
According to Sky's Nick Martin, there was evidence of widespread drug use in the area with 'hundred of gas canisters' on the ground, the kind used in what police describe as the 'epidemic of gas drug use that we see in housing estates'.
