An eye witness to a shooting at a block of flats in Halesowen overnight said the scene was 'chaotic' and compared it to a Hollywood movie.

West Midlands Police are still investigating after the disorder at Bredon Court, off Andrew Road near Halesowen town-centre around 11.15pm.

Bullet holes were left in the walls after a car was shot at in Bredon Court, Halesowen

The man, who is remaining anonymous, said he watched from the window of his fourth floor flat as his car was 'written off' by a driver who was trying to find his way out of the car park following the shooting.

He said the drama started when a group of people arrived on electric bikes and he and his children were then woken up by what sounded like 'fireworks,'

He said: "I watched my car getting smashed into, as well as two others, one of the neighbours I know quite well she lost her car.

"There are only eight spaces for about 40 flats and there were cars parked all over the place, the driver was careering into vehicles it was like something out of a movie."

"We pretty much saw it all unfold including the shooting into the wall and you can still see the bullet holes this morning."

"I have been her six months and it's probably not the best place to bring up kids though in that time I haven't seen anything like this, anti-social behaviour with groups of lads yes but not any shooting incidents or damage to cars to this extent."
