Summary
Four people were injured during three different incidents. All the incidents took place in the west area of Merseyside. During the first incident three people were injured. Two guys on a motorbike drove by and shot on those people. They were being struck by shotgun pellets. The second incident was in the same street and was a man on a motorbike who shot at a pub. In the third incident a security guard was shot in his leg. Fortunately no one was killed. There is no clear motive.

Reaction
I think this is starting to get normal news. I am not shocked anymore when I read those articles. I am very glad the people were not severely injured. I think this is not something typically English. This happens all over the world and, most off the time in specific problem areas. The people are advised not to drive through the area. This can not be asked. Every area in the world should be save to drive through. Especially in western cultures were we have the possibilities to fight these crimes.
