West Midlands Police are launching an investigation after a man in his 30s was transported to the hospital with gunshot injuries in the early hours of the morning on August 13th. The victim’s injuries are potentially life-changing, and he was dropped off at the hospital by a Mercedes vehicle at around 4 am.
In response to the incident, officers have been working diligently to gather information. They managed to trace the Mercedes to the Edgbaston area, where it had been travelling in the company of a BMW. A subsequent search of the BMW revealed the discovery of a knife and a quantity of drugs. Both vehicles have since been seized for further examination and forensic analysis.
