He said: "We have problems with guns with drugs and with other crimes. "To stop this problem we need more police officers, and unfortunately we do not have enough.

Witnesses reported hearing two shots and seeing two cars leave the scene at high speed. Police discovered Mr Nazir inside a white Vauxhall Astra outside the petrol station.
