Merseyside Police is appealing for information following reports of gunshots on Carlingford Close near Upper Parliament Street last night (Thursday 23 February).

No injuries have been reported to police.
An investigation is underway and house-to-house and CCTV enquiries are ongoing in the local area.
A cordon is also in place on Carlingford Close, Selborne Street and Granbry Street as police carry out forensic examinations.
