A MAN was gunned down in the street as he walked through the Clover Hall estate on Monday afternoon.

Shortly afterwards a 24-year-old man was traced by police to hospital with wounds to his legs and lower back.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Local residents reported hearing one or two gunshots. The suspects are described as three shaven-headed white men driving a blue Subaru.
One of the men is thought to have been wearing a long, dark coat.
