A man has been injured after his car was shot at on a Texaco forecourt in Birmingham.
On the evening of Tuesday April 10 shots were fired at an Audi parked on the forecourt, breaking the windscreen, and a man was injured by flying glass.
The following morning police forensic officers were investigating what appeared to be bullet holes in the site’s car wash.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: “Police were called to an incident at 10:50pm last night (9th April), after reports of shots fired in a petrol garage forecourt on the Coventry Road, Yardley.
