A man has been shot dead in a Birmingham street.
Two other men, one with knife wounds and another with gunshot injuries, were taken to hospital for treatment where their condition is described as serious.
One witness claimed "about 200 to 300 lads" had gathered in the area around Stratford Road in Sparkbrook prior to the killing on Wednesday evening.
Five people have been arrested, detectives said.
West Midlands Police said the dead man was aged 32. The man with gunshot wounds is aged 22 while the other man is in his 20s.
'Pool of blood'The A34 Stratford Road was closed throughout Thursday morning but reopened at lunchtime.
Farm Road and Grantham Road remain sealed off while police investigate.
One shopkeeper, who did not want to be named, said he had been leaving the area on a bus when a woman in front of him cried out and he looked out of the window.
"I saw a man lying in a pool of blood by the side of the road," he said.
"People were surrounding him and trying to help. I didn't understand what I was seeing, whether he had been shot or stabbed.
"It has made me scared. I'm worried about my shop."
'Groups fighting'Another shopkeeper, who also did not want to give his name, said he had been locking up for the day at about 19:20 when he saw a "large group" had gathered.
"There were about 200 to 300 lads hanging around, it was a large number," he said.
"Then after that lots of police came down.
He added: "It does happen around here, groups fighting among themselves.
"You do see large groups of young lads hanging around, but it doesn't usually escalate to this kind of violence."
