A man is in a critical condition after being shot in a barber shop.
The victim, aged in his 20s, was in the Wolverhampton Road hairdressers in the Birchills area of Walsall just after 5pm on Sunday when men entered and assaulted him, West Midlands Police said.
It is understood one of the men left and returned with what is believed to be a shotgun.
Police said the victim suffered a gunshot wound to his stomach and is in a critical condition in hospital.
The men ran off on foot and a police investigation is under way to identify and catch the offenders.
Police have cordoned off the area to preserve any evidence - and anyone who saw what happened, or has any information on the shooting, is urged to contact West Midlands Police.
