Police are linking shooting to an earlier assault
Armed police are patrolling Bradford on Saturday night after four bystanders were shot outside a nightclub.

A 33-year-old man and three teenagers were shot from a moving car in the early hours of Saturday morning.

They are in hospital, but their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

The incident happened outside the Milk Bar nightclub in Manor Row.

Armed robberies

West Yorkshire Police officers are linking it to an assault in the club which resulted in two men being thrown out at 0200 BST on Saturday.

It is thought two men in a dark or silver-coloured car shot at the door of the club an hour later.

Officers are also linking the incident to two earlier robberies in the city.

At 0240 BST two suspects wearing balaclavas entered a property on Amberly Street in the Leeds Road area where the owners were assaulted and property stolen.

The second was an armed robbery at about 0305 BST on Curzon Road where a restaurant owner was robbed at gunpoint and his takings stolen.
