Police appeal following McDonald's drive-thru shooting in Wirral

Merseyside Police have released an image of a person they wish to speak with after a man was shot in front customers at a McDonald’s drive thru.

Police believe the man in the photograph could have vital information that would assist their enquiries into a shooting which happened in Bromborough yesterday. (June 18)

Emergency services were called around 5.30pm to McDonald's at The Croft Retail & Leisure Park on Welton Road, following reports a 21-year-old man had been shot as he sat in the front passenger seat of a black Ford Tourneo car in the drive-thru.

He was taken to hospital for assessment of a leg injury where his condition is described as stable.

It is believed the offender made off on foot in the direction of Asda, before leaving the scene in a black vehicle with at least one other male.
