A Volkswagen Golf riddled with bullets has been pictured outside a hospital where a man attended with gun-shot wounds.
The man self-presented at the Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham following what police called a "targeted attack" on a residential road around a mile away.
The shooting happened shortly before 7pm on April 30 with the car arriving at the hospital shortly afterwards, reports BirminghamLive.
The patient who had gunshot wounds to his abdomen and leg, is expected to recover.
University Hospitals Birmingham - which runs Heartlands - confirmed its A&E department was briefly "locked down".
A spokesperson said: "The department was locked down for a short while to ensure staff and patient safety. We will support West Midlands Police with any enquiries."
An image showed the blue Golf behind a cordon opposite the Princess of Wales Women's Unit.
Popular local author Omar Akbar said he had been asked to leave the accident and emergency ward and go to another hospital.
Omar tweeted: "Bullet holes in car windows. "We (new patients) got turned away. I had to go to another hospital where my wait was from 7.30pm [to] 2.20am. Look how far the nation has fallen.
"I’m sharing this as I think it’s monumentally messed up to have to leave a hospital due to a shooting and then go to another and wait for seven hours."
