Southampton: Roads reopen as police investigate gunshot reports

The investigation is on-going after police were called to Middle Road in Sholing, Southampton following reports of gunshots at 1:30pm on Friday. A man was seen firing a weapon at another man near a school but there were no reported injuries. Hampshire Constabulary believe the men left the scene in separate vehicles, with the suspects thought to already be acquainted.

The police have now lifted the cordon outside Oasis Academy, with officers remaining in the area. The school has said that while they did secure the site, they had not gone into a full formal lockdown.
