Dear Resident,

We are investigating after shots were fired in Birmingham this morning.

We were called to Bickford Road, Aston after gunshots were heard shortly before 6am today (23 March).

Two men were taken to hospital, but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

We will have officers in the area throughout today carrying out further enquiries.

We know there were a lot of people in the area when the shooting happened and we are asking anyone with photos or video to contact us.

Officers investigating have created a public link where you can directly submit any material you have.

Anyone with any other information about what happened can contact us via 101 or Live Chat quoting log 636 of 23 March.

Firearms have no place on the streets of the West Midlands, and we are continuing our work daily against those who carry them.
