Police studying CCTV footage after Wolverhampton wedding shooting
CCTV footage from an adjacent business is being used by police investigating after shots were fired at a wedding party in Wolverhampton.
West Midlands Police are continuing to make enquiries after a car was driven up to the back of the Sitara Hall at the Gujarati Association on Mander Street, Penn Fields and a shot fired at a parked car. Over 100 people were enjoying a wedding at the venue.
An employee at another nearby firm said they had been asked to hand over CCTV footage from their premises to the police.
He said staff didn't see anything, but added that cameras are monitored 24 hours a day.
"The CCTV should be able to help and we were happy to hand it over," he commented.
David Poole, a worker at another business in Mander Street near the association, said he was not surprised at what had happened.
He said: "It's not a great area around here, I wouldn't like to come down of an evening, I just work around here but there always seems to be an undercurrent of something going on even in the daytime."
Jackie Sangher, who lives in Zoar Street which is adjacent to the back of the association said she had heard the shots fired on Saturday evening and what sounded like shouting but hadn't thought anything of it.
She said: "I have lived here for 10 years and there are plenty of weddings and other events there. There has never been any problem before, I think I just thought it was a car misfiring."
A spokesman for West Midlands Police confirmed they were still investigating the incident.
