A MURDER probe has been launched after a man was shot dead in Birmingham this morning.
The 25-year-old took himself to hospital but died shortly after, police say.
A second man is in a critical condition after shooting in Soho Hill, Hockley at around 4.30am.
Cops were called after members of the public reported seeing a large group of men in the road and hearing the sound of a firearm being discharged.
Detective Chief inspector Caroline Marsh, said: “We are embarking on an extensive CCTV trawl of the area and there is lots of intelligence work going on behind the scenes in a bid to try and understand what may lie behind the shooting.
“I would appeal to anyone who may have been in the Soho Hill area at the time and who saw the incident or anything suspicious to contact West Midlands Police or Crimestoppers.”
