WATCH: Residents turned away as cordon put up
This video was sent to us on Facebook shortly after the gun was fired last night. Residents came outside to find a convoy of police and a cordon placed at the top of Blacker Road.
Public heard three gunshots, according to councillor
Kirklees councillor Sheikh Ullah, who represents the Birkby area has had a briefing from police.
He says Insp James Kitchen of Huddersfield NPT has told him: “We had a call from members of the public who heard noises like three gunshots from a vehicle on Blacker Road close to the mosque.”He said that so far there’s no evidence to suggest that a firearm was discharged but there was an incident between known persons.
Clr Ullah added that residents should go about their business as normally as possible and try not to be too alarmed.
“The area will see an increased presence of police officers over the following days to reassure traders and residents.”

Eyewitness account
A resident on Miln Road a few streets away said she heard officers banging on her neighbours’ door last night.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “I was asleep in bed and I woke up hearing the helicopter about 12.30. There was loads of police outside my house, then I heard someone banging on a door shouting ‘police, open up!’
“I thought it was my door so went downstairs and opened the front door to see officers. They told me to get back inside and I realised they were at a house a few doors down.”
