No one was hurt and police believe there is no wider threat in the area

Police are investigating a shooting at a chippy in Oldham . But locals living in the 'close-knit' community around it seemed unfazed.

There were no injuries and police believe there is no wider threat to the area. People living in the area near Alexandra Park watched as police carried out their investigation.Some were regular customers at the chippy which they described as a 'nice family run business'. One man told the Manchester Evening News that he had come to collect his order, joking that he was still waiting for his food.

The M.E.N. spoke to several men who were at the scene several hours after the incident occurred, but none of them claimed to be there when it happened. One man associated with the business said that he did not know whether any customers were inside at the time.
