Dog killed as car rams gates and shots fired at Wolverhampton house in late-night attack
A dog was killed after a car rammed through security gates at a house on the outskirts of Wolverhampton and shots were fired at the property.
Police were called as the violence unfolded in Codsall Road just before 12.25am today when two cars, including a Land Rover, pulled up outside a home.
After ramming through the gates, a group of men then got out of the 4x4 and fired shots towards the house.
The vehicle was then set alight and the group escaped in the second car.
West Midlands Police said a dog, who was shot and also suffered other injuries, died at the scene but no-one else at the address was injured.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
It comes as residents reported hearing 'loud bangs' and seeing the Land Rover on fire in the early hours of the morning.
An area of Codsall Road was cordoned off by police and several officers were spotted at the scene on Wednesday morning.
Windows in one property in the street were also seen to be smashed.
