Manchester has suffered its first suspected fatal shooting this year after a man was 'shot dead' in broad daylight as children played nearby.
A 32-year-old man died in Openshaw, east Manchester, on Saturday afternoon. Emergency services were scrambled to Welland Road at around 2pm, where the man was sadly pronounced dead. Police believe he died as a result of gun shot wounds.
Detectives have now opened a murder probe, with forensics continuing to comb the scene as night falls.
