Man, 41, and boy, 16, arrested after car damaged by gunshots

South Wales Police said a vehicle on the A48 in Morriston, Swansea, sustained damage "consistent with a firearms discharge" on Friday. A 41-year-old man from Llansamlet, Swansea, had been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, while a 16-year-old boy, also from Llansamlet, had been arrested on suspicion of affray. Video circulating online shows police officers next to a stationary car that appears to have been struck by a shotgun blast on Clase Road near an Asda superstore.

"It is important that people avoid the area so we can effectively deal with this incident and return the area to normality." "Unfortunately, the police have advised due to an issue ongoing, the event has to be cancelled. With immediate effect," it said in a social media post, advising people to stay at home.
