Police are continuing to appeal for information after a gun was fired in Redditch.
At around 1.15pm on 26 March, police were called to Ombersley Close after a firearm was discharged in the street.
No-one was injured, but a car was heavily damaged.
A total of eight people have been arrested so far, including four men on suspicion of attempted murder.
Two women have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, while a man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
All eight have since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
