Investigations continuing after three men shot in Birmingham
Investigations are continuing after three men were shot ,prompting the use of stop and search powers for two days.
Shots were fired in Hamstead Road, Lozells, at around 6pm on Friday with one 19-year-old man being rushed to hospital afterwards.
Two other men, also 19, later attended hospital separately with gunshot injuries. Officers have confirmed it happened at a large gathering.
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said crews were called at 6.11pm.
"Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and a MERIT trauma doctor attended the scene," he said. "On arrival we discovered one male patient who was treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to hospital. Crews were told a second patient had already left scene to self-present at hospital."
Extra powers were used on Saturday and Sunday to allow police to stop and search people without the need for reasonable grounds.
They were used in Handsworth, Aston and Perry Barr. Anyone with information have been urged to contact police.
