Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman died following a shooting outside a bar in Sheffield city centre.
South Yorkshire Police said its officers called to the scene at 2.45am on Monday following reports of a shooting outside the One Four One bar on West Street.
A 30-year-old woman was found with serious injuries and treated at the scene. She was taken to hospital where she later died, the force said.
Formal identification has yet to take place but the woman’s family have been informed and are being supported by officers.
Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the incident and all three remain in custody, police said on Monday evening.
One man, 30, and the woman, 32, were arrested near Stockport in Greater Manchester during the early hours of Monday morning, while the second man, 30, was arrested in Sheffield, according to the force.
Assistant chief constable Colin McFarlane said: “This is a devastating incident which has resulted in the death of a young woman while on a night out during the bank holiday weekend in Sheffield.
“First and foremost, our thoughts are with her family and everyone who knew and loved her.”
He added: “Our officers have been working extremely hard to piece together the events surrounding the shooting.
“While our investigation is in its early stages, we will continue to have a significant presence at the scene in the area today and in the coming days.
“Bank holidays are one of the busiest times of the year, and we know that there were people in the area around West Street and Eldon Street who saw what happened or know who is responsible.
“If this is you, please share what you know either directly to us, or completely anonymously via Crimestoppers. Now is not the time to stay silent.
“Gun crime causes unbearable tragedy and the victim and her family deserve answers.
“We will work tirelessly to provide these answers and to put those responsible before the courts.”
