A man's been chased down a street in Salford by two men in balaclavas - firing shots from a gun.
Witnesses described seeing the man running for his life as bullets hit nearby cars near the Lidl on Fitzwarren Street in Pendleton just before 8pm last night (Wednesday 30 August).
One shot had hit a silver Renault Megane which was being driven by a member of the public.
The two men had made off in a black Volkswagon Golf before police arrived.
Police are now trying to track down all of the men involved.
It's not thought anyone was seriously injured.
Detective Sergeant Rachel Smith from GMP's Salford borough told us:
"This was a terrifying incident which could have so easily been life threatening for members of the public going about their business.
"We don't believe there were any serious injuries last night, property owned by innocent members of the public was damaged, but im thankful that we're not dealing with a more tragic situation.
"The incident happened shortly before 8pm so there will have been lots of people who may have witnesses what happened. I'm appealing for them to get in touch.
"Also, anyone who knows who the two men wearing balaclavas could be or has any idea of who their victim is should call me as soon as possible.
"One gun on the streets of Greater Manchester is one too many, we will not stop until we find those who continue to put people's lives in danger by being so reckless."
