We are this evening, Wednesday 3 June, investigating following reports of a man being shot in the arm in #Liverpool.

We were called to Carlingford Close in #Toxteth at just after 8.40pm following reports the 19-year-old man had suffered an injury to his arm consistent with a firearm being used.

It is believed the incident happened in the Upper Parliament Street area.

The man has been taken to hospital for treatment for his injury which is not believed to be life threatening.

An investigation is underway and house-to-house and CCTV enquiries are being carried out in the local area.

Detective Inspector Jay Boardman said: “We are in the very early stages of this investigation and we are seeking witnesses and CCTV and Ring doorbell footage to piece together what has happened.

“Firearms and the reckless people who choose to carry and use them have no place on the streets of Merseyside and we would ask for the public’s help to locate who is responsible and bring them to justice.”

Anyone with information should contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X or Facebook @MerPolCC. You can also report information via our website: https://t.co/J8pBPNE3XT or by calling 101 quoting incident reference 1010 of 3 June.
