Armed officers were sent to Dog Lane just after 7pm on Monday after a report that a person had been shot.

They found a 17-year-old boy with a gunshot wound and then came across two more victims, a 21-year-old man and another thought to be in his early 20s, nearby.

The suspect or suspects had fled the scene before the firearms officers arrived.

All three victims were given first aid by the police and then taken to hospital. The 21-year-old may have suffered a life changing injury and the man in his 20s is in a serious but stable condition.

The teenager's injuries are not life changing.
