THREE people have been arrested following a late night shooting yesterday on a residential street.

Police are appealing for witnesses who may have information related to the shooting, which took place on Parkfield Mount in the Beeston area of Leeds.

Police were called to the area, which is densely populated with rows of back-to-back terraced housing, at about 10pm on Friday following reports from the public about loud shots being heard.

When officers arrived they found evidence consistent with a shooting, although no injuries or damage to property was reported.

Three people - two men aged 22 and 23 and a woman aged 20 - all from the Leeds area were arrested some time later following police enquiries and all remain in custody today.

Detective Inspector James Entwistle of Leeds District CID, said: “We are continuing to conduct enquiries into this firearms discharge today and are appealing for information and witnesses.

“All firearms incidents are treated extremely seriously by West Yorkshire Police and I can promise residents this incident is being fully investigated.

“Anyone who saw suspicious behaviour on Parkfield Mount just prior to 10pm or persons leaving the scene is asked to contact Leeds District CID."
