Police have launched a full-scale investigation into a mass shooting last night at a West End sports bar that has left two patrons dead and two more injured.

Officers responded to calls of gunshots at Legends Bar on Somerset Road at about 10.30pm.

Detective Chief Inspector Derricka Burns, of the Serious Crime Unit, said: “We can confirm a firearm was discharged and four people were shot.

“Two have been confirmed dead. Police officers are on the scene and conducting investigations. We also have officers from the Forensic Support Unit on scene examining the area.”

Ms Burns said she was unable to provide details about the deceased or the condition of the victims who were injured in the shooting.
