The 15-year-old boy was in the city centre at around 11.10pm on Saturday when a motorbike carrying a number of people drove past and one of them opened fire, police said

He said police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the attack, particularly those with dashcam footage, as there were a number of taxis in the area at the time.It is not clear whether there is any link to two other incidents in the area at around the same time.

Reporting from Coventry, Sky News correspondent Becky Johnson said:"A group of people, quite young lads aged between 11 and 13, one of the boys told me he knows or knows of this 15-year-old boy and they believe here in Coventry it's all about postcodes.

Must have been a long motorbike , normally if it was driver and pillion rider they'd say that but as said number of people on one motorbike was it like the bicycle used in BBC's ancient 70's programme the Goodies

TRUE British people don't do this type of crime.

People in the UK need gun rights.

Diversity is our strength

Don’t have much sympathy. Why is a 15 year old out at 11pm and where are his parents?

😱😱😱 Coventrybronx too Close .. we took trick or treat we took school prom from USA.. why ? Commercial bullshit . now you have another; drive by shootings still wanna be like America

Sadie Kahn’s fault again I bet. Never the parent or the community.

Columbia is such a dangerous place oh wait........

This country needs sorting out.

What would we do without the our lovely POC friends?

It’s like an episode of Narcos. Seriously what it happening to our country? Lawless society.

Ok! 1) are our streets really safe (this is a little too close to home for comfort) if not, who takes responsibility? The gov blame police? 2) no doubt they'll be ppl screaming why was a 15y.o. out 11pm & not WTF are kids on m/C's doing with guns in quiet city centres night

Nothing new for Brum

This terrible, but I sn’t a 15 year old supposed to be home at 11.10pm?

What like this....👀

Aspiring rapper?
