Man injured in Wheatsheaf car park shooting in Newcastle

 

A man has been shot in the car park of a pub in Newcastle.

 

Staff at The Wheatsheaf on Whitley Road, Benton, said the injured man came into the pub to ask for help.

A man in his 40s was taken to hospital with injuries thought to be "consistent with a gunshot wound", police said. He is said to be in a "stable" condition.

 

Northumbria Police said there may have been a disturbance in the car park before the shooting, which was reported just after 17:00 GMT.

 

Extra officers had been sent to the area as a precaution, said the force.

I watched the Bordeaux match in there last week, it's my sister's local. My brother in law called in just as it was all happening to drop something off and got stuck in there for a while as the police wouldn't let anyone out. He was mostly pissed off that he couldn't get out for a tab.

 

Pleased my sister's at work tonight as she'd no doubt have been in there over otherwise.
