Four men have been injured in two separate shootings in Sheffield.

Police were called to Grimesthorpe Road in Burngreave in the early hours after shots were fired at a group of men. Three of them were taken to hospital.

A 53-year-old man was then shot in the arm and leg at an address in Club Garden Road, Sharrow, at about 02:00 BST.

None of the men's injuries are thought to be life-threatening. Police have stepped up patrols in the areas.
