A man in a hospital is fighting for his life after being shot in the head with a gun believed to have been fired from a BMW on a street in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Armed police were deployed to the scene at 10.57pm last night by the ambulance service.
It came amid reports a man had suffered a gunshot wound to the head on Gaythorne Road at the junction of Parsonage Road, West Bowling.
