Four people have been shot at a Birmingham nightclub, leaving one person in a critical condition.
West Midlands police said one man remained in hospital, while the other three – two men and a woman – were being treated for less serious injuries after the incident at Mango nightclub in Bristol Street at about 3am on Saturday.
Three people in their 20s and 30s were arrested from a car on the M6 in Warwickshire a short time later, the force said. They remain in custody on suspicion of violent disorder.
Acting chief inspector Michael Clarke said: “This happened in a busy nightclub, on one of the main roads out of Birmingham city centre, so it’s vital that we hear from anybody who saw what happened or who may have captured it on dashcam as they went past.
“Our investigation is moving rapidly, and urgent inquiries have led to the arrests of three people, but we continue to investigate as we identify everyone involved.
“If you were in the club at the time and saw what happened, or recorded any footage from inside the venue, we need to hear from you urgently.”
Anyone with information is asked to get in touch on 101, quoting log 561 of 20 September, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
