A 49-year-old man has been arrested after shots were fired at three locations in Liverpool, North West England, including a cinema.
The Showcase Cinema in Croxteth, a suburb of Liverpool, went into lockdown Wednesday night after a man threatened staff in the foyer before shooting outside, police said. The authorities added that the cinema was still operational, with cinemagoers watching films on multiple screens inside the complex. They were only made aware of the incident as they left the cinema.
Police said no one at the cinema complex was injured. The incident came around 50 minutes after shots were fired at a corner store in the same area. Reports state that a man threatened and demanded cash from a shop assistant before firing a gun and leaving the store empty-handed. A third incident was reported later that evening, with shots heard on a local road in the area.
The man was arrested early on Thursday morning on suspicion of possession of a section 1 firearm with intent to endanger life and robbery.
Assistant Chief Constable Wilson of Merseyside police said: “Thankfully, incidents like this, involving a single offender in three separate shootings in close proximity and quick succession, are extremely rare, and this is the first time we have had to deal with an incident of this nature on the streets of Merseyside.
She added: “The shocking and distressing impact these incidents will have had on the shop assistant, the staff at the Showcase Cinema, and those filmgoers who found themselves in a lockdown situation in the complex after shots were fired outside the cinema and the residents of Malpas Road cannot be underestimated.”
