Two other men aged 20 and 19 were also injured in the attack in the Ladywood area of the city and were taken to hospital, but their injuries are not believed to be life threatening. The shooting happened on the busy St Vincent Street West shortly after 5pm on Tuesday – just yards from the classroom windows of St John and St Peter’s CE Academy, where children had been studying only a couple of hours earlier. On Wednesday, a blue tent was thought to be covering the car the victim was said to have been sitting in, along with two other men, when the attack happened, opposite a row of shops. Another dark sheet could be seen next to a tree by a low wall 20 metres away from the tent, where it is thought the victim collapsed.
