Six-year-old boy shot as he played outside his home in 'mistaken identity' attack

The wall is riddled with bullet holes

"Everybody is scared – me too. I haven't slept since it happened. I stayed downstairs on the sofa last night but I couldn't sleep."His teenage son revealed three people were being chased down the street by the men, who were brandishing a shotgun. The teen believes the gangsters opened fire after mistakenly believing their intended target had also fled inside the house.Bullet-holes can be seen on the front door and a jacket hanging on the stairs has been peppered with large pellet homes.

She said: "I rang the police straight away. It was frightening. We've only lived here since August, it's a quiet street, but it's made us worry about staying here now."Superintendent Tom Chisholm, from Wolverhampton police, said: "I understand the concerns of the community and I’d like to reassure you that we’re doing all we can to establish what happened yesterday and find those responsible.
