Breaking News: A Shooting Incident Shocks Urmston
A chilling scene unfolded in Urmston tonight, leaving the town centre in a state of emergency.
Emergency services, with armed police in tow, responded swiftly to reports of a shooting incident on Higher Road. The incident occurred around 8:40 pm, and the aftermath is still being investigated.
But here's where it gets controversial...
A witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, described seeing a distinctive puffa jacket on the pavement within the police cordon. They speculated that someone had been treated for injuries, as the jacket's padding seemed to have been torn, and its contents were scattered on the road.
A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesperson confirmed the details, stating, "We received reports of a firearms discharge on Higher Road, Urmston, at approximately 8:42 pm. Emergency services treated one casualty with serious injuries at the scene."
The spokesperson added, "A scene has been established, and Higher Road remains closed to the public. Extra patrols are in place around the area as we continue our investigations."
And this is the part most people miss...
The incident has sparked a call for any information, CCTV footage, or dashcam recordings that could aid the investigation. GMP is urging the public to come forward with any leads by contacting them on 101, quoting log 3132 of 16/01/2026. Alternatively, information can be reported anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via LiveChat on www.gmp.police.uk.
