A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after one man died and another was critically injured in a shooting in Birmingham.
Police were called to Rotton Park Road, near the junction with City Road in Edgbaston, just before 11pm on Friday to reports that two people had been shot.
One man, in his 20s, was found in a car but was pronounced dead at the scene, West Midlands Police said.
His family have been informed and are being supported by officers.
Another man, in his 30s, was found injured at a bus stop, and was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition, the force added.
Firearms officers arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of murder on nearby Waterloo Road just before 12.30am. He remains in custody.
Officers remain at the scene and road closures are in place, while reassurance patrols will also be carried out, West Midlands Police said.
Detective Inspector Nick Barnes, from the homicide team, said: “This is a tragic incident, and we have worked through the night to understand exactly what happened.
“We’ve already made good progress and arrested a suspect, but I still need to hear from anyone who was in the area that we’ve not already spoken to.
“This happened near the busy junction with City Road and it may be that you’ve got dashcam footage or mobile phone footage from the area just before 11pm.
“We really need to hear from you so that we can build as clear a picture as possible of what happened.”
Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch via 101 or Live Chat, quoting log 5228 of November 22.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
