Woman dies following shooting outside Sheffield city centre bar on bank holiday Monday

A woman has died as a result of  a shooting outside of a busy club on West Street last night.

The 30-year-old woman was found with serious injuries and treated at the scene, before being taken to the hospital where she died. 

Police arrived at the scene at 2.45am following a report of a shooting outside the One Four One Bar in Sheffield city centre. 

Her identity is yet to be formally released to the public but the victim’s family have been informed and are receiving police support as the investigation continues. 

Assistant Chief Constable, Colin McFarlane said: “Our thoughts are with them, and everyone that knew her at this unimaginably tragic time.” 

Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder, with all of them remaining in police custody. 

A 30-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were arrested near Stockport in Greater Manchester, and another 30-year-old man was arrested in Sheffield shortly after the shooting. 

The police force will remain in the area as the investigation continues. 

Colin McFarlane said: “While our investigation is in its early stages, we will continue to have a significant presence at this scene and this area today and in the days to come.”
