South Yorkshire Police are investigating following the incident, which happened at around 6.45pm.

Mubarak Egal, who works at a nearby garage, said he heard a number of gunshots, but thought it was fireworks.

He said: "I looked at the car wash. There was a lot of police and a blue BMW had a couple of shots. It was shocking. There were so many holes. Passenger side window was broken.

"I thought, I hope nobody died."

He said the incident was "very worrying".

"Now I'm thinking about the parents... this has to stop," he added.

"People dying for no reason."
