New gang rivalry behind Moss Side shooting - Manchester Evening News: "17-year-old girl was hit in the elbow while a second victim, a 20-year-old man, was shot in the lower back and buttock.
Detectives are connecting the Great Western Street shootings with a feud between the Moss Side Bloods – linked to the Doddington Gang – and rivals from outside the region.
The incident came just hours before police arrested 14 people in an operation to tackle gun crime in the south of the city. They recovered a number of weapons including a shotgun and two handguns.
The swoop followed an incident on Selworthy Road last month in which a number of men gathered in the road and threatened each other with machetes and baseball bats.
Officers moved to quell fears of a new wave of gang violence after the imprisonment of leaders of the Gooch Gang last year.
They say there is no evidence of new gangsters filling a ‘power vacuum’ left by the jailing of leaders Colin Joyce and Lee Amos.
The number of shots fired in Moss Side, Longsight and Old Trafford fell to 61 in 2009 – the lowest since records were first kept in 2003."
