Four people have been injured after a man fired shots from an air gun then drove into a pub, shortly after England played Scotland in the Euros.

West Midlands Police said the driver of the silver Volvo fired the shots, hitting a man in the leg, before driving towards a group who were standing on steps outside the Gigmill pub in Stourbridge at 10pm on Friday, after the 0-0 draw.

A force spokesman said a man and woman in their 20s suffered serious, but not life-threatening, leg injuries and were being treated in hospital.

Two other women were also treated in hospital for less serious injuries.

Police are seeking the driver, who fled the scene in South Road.

“We believe that this was a targeted attack and quick-time investigations are being carried out to establish the whereabouts of the driver of the Volvo.
