Four injured in Birmingham nightclub shooting

Three men and a woman were treated for injuries following the shooting at Mango nightclub in Birmingham city centre

A man is in a critical condition and three other people have been injured in a shooting at a nightclub in Birmingham.

Emergency services were called to the Mango nightclub on Bristol Street at about 03:00 BST where they discovered three men and a woman had been wounded.

Three people, in their 20s and 30s, have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder in connection with the shooting as the investigation continues.

The suspects were found in a car on the M6 in Warwickshire a short time later and are being held in custody, West Midlands Police has said.

Motorists have been urged to avoid the area by West Midlands Police

Bristol Street - one of the main routes into the city centre - has been cordoned off by police.

It is closed southbound from the Pagoda Island to Bromsgrove Street and is expected to remain closed for some time.

Acting Ch Insp Michael Clarke appealed for anyone with information about the shooting to contact West Midlands Police.

"This happened in a busy nightclub, on one of the main roads out of Birmingham, so it's vital that we hear from anybody who saw what happened or who may have captured it on dashcam as they went past," he said.

"If you were in the club at the time and saw what happened, or recorded any footage from inside the venue, we need to hear from you urgently."
