BREAKING! Police Investigate Wallsend Shooting

BY IAN CROUCH

Emergency services have been called to reports of a shooting overnight at Wallsend.

Police were called to a unit in Longworth Avenue at about 11.30pm following reports of gunfire.

Firefighters were also called after a shot was fired into a gas main.

No-one was injured and police set up a crime scene.

It's not clear at this stage if the shooting is linked to a number of incidents over the past week involving bikie gangs.
