The gang torn UK town being ripped apart by live streamed shootings Breaking Bad style meth labs
IN the dead of night, a shattering series of bangs reverberated around a Greater Manchester street. Mistaking it for fireworks, startled residents peered out of their window. When they realised it was gunfire, some panicked others simply went back to bed. The shocking 1am attack on a home in Prince Edward Avenue, in the Clarksfield area of Oldham, was livestreamed on Snapchat last week, with footage appearing to show a man firing at least six shots through a window. Defiant locals insist the terrifying incident was out of character for the street, but after a spate of gunrelated crimes in Oldham, they fear the areas culture of drugs and gang violence is increasingly spiralling out of control. It comes amid growing concern about firearms offences in the UK, which have risen nine per cent nationally yearonyear and come under scrutiny following the horrific death of nineyearold Olivia PrattKorbel in Liverpool in August 2022.
