Shots fired at police station
The shooting happened just after midnight
Police officers are investigating after gunshots were fired at a police station in Nottingham.
Windows and exterior lights were damaged at St Ann's police station on Ransom Road in the incident. It is believed a shotgun was used in the shooting, which happened just after midnight on Wednesday. The police station is staffed 24 hours a day, but nobody was hurt. An investigation is expected to concentrate on CCTV footage from cameras overlooking the front of the police station. A teenager died after a shooting incident in the area a year ago. Brendon Lawrence, 16, was killed on 19 February 2002 as he stepped out of a car close to his home in St Ann's. A vigil is being organised by his mother on Saturday to protest against gun crime in the city.
