Police have shut a busy road in Birmingham after gunshots were fired in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Officers were called to Station Road, Stechford, just after midnight after a group of men reportedly left a car and fired shots at a second car.

West Midlands Police believes further shots were fired on Caldwell Road but no injuries have been reported.

Officers remain at the scene in both locations.

An investigation has been launched and witnesses or anyone with information have been urged to contact the force.

National Express West Midlands bus services 11A and 11C have been diverted due to the road closure.
