A BOY and a 35-year-old man were shot with a "silenced pistol" in broad daylight yesterday.

The teen, 15, and adult were attacked in a Birmingham street at around 4.30pm - with the shooter still on the run.It is thought the pair were deliberately targeted before the gunman fled the scene in a car.He appears to be holding a gun in his hand as he speeds through the traffic in Warwick Road, Solihull.

The witness told the MailOnline: "It is 100 per cent a gun, if you look on the right hand side after a few seconds you can see him aim the gun, it had a silencer on it. Definitely a gun."We were afraid we were going to get shot if we drove past the shooter and into his line of fire as he seemed to miss a few shots.

"The offender made off in a vehicle and police are calling for witnesses to contact them via Live Chat at west-midlands.police.uk between 8am and midnight, call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting log number 1702 of 11/5."In 2018, the number of murders in the UK increased by 14 per cent from 649 in 2017 to 739.

It's as if nobody's prepared to confront the tired shtick and nihilistic swagger - as they would if people were dying at the hands of right wing lunatics - in case they're labelled racist. Are they going to claim he's doing a white power gesture with his hand?

Teenager Tashaun Aird charged over killing of aspiring musician and drill music producer, 15The youngster was stabbed to death in Hackney on Wednesday after a 'fracas' with a group of youths in a park, detectives say. 😥 💘 Isaiah 61:1,2,&3 & Luke 4:18&19 ✌ 💘 That's the name of the victim!!! 'Aspiring musician and drill music producer, 15.' I don't know what breaks my heart most there.
