Tonight, January 16th, Urmston's Higher Road near the railway station has been sealed off, with a sprawling crime scene in place. The initial reports suggest a significant police operation, with a witness counting at least 10 police cars and armed officers on the scene. But here's where it gets intriguing: the witness describes a lengthy cordon, stretching from Ashfield Road to the main road junction, and mentions the presence of armed police, who have since departed.
Could this be a shooting? Unconfirmed reports suggest the incident might involve a shooting, adding a layer of urgency to the situation. An ambulance was also spotted within the cordon, with a witness noting what appeared to be a coat or jacket and feathers scattered on the road, indicating a possible medical response.
Local taxi services are still operational, but the Parade Cars office on Victoria Parade has closed to walk-in customers due to the incident. This breaking news story has the town on high alert, and residents are eagerly awaiting official updates from Greater Manchester Police.
