Kanye gig shooting update

Police have arrested a 21-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman over the shooting of two stewards at a Kanye West concert, while still seeking the suspected gunman.

More on the shooting at that Kanye West Concert at the Birmingham NEC on Tuesday night. As previously reported, two stewards were shot as they escorted gatecrashers off the premises. Police revealed yesterday that one of the stewards was shot in the face, stomach and foot and was still in a serious condition in hospital. The second steward received less serious injuries and was now out of hospital.

Two people, a 21 year old man and 20 year old woman, were yesterday arrested in connection with the incident, but West Midlands Police have said that they are not treating those arrests as significant and that they are still urging the suspected gunman to come forward. To that end police also issued a description of the man they are after.

Meanwhile West himself has issued a statement regarding the shooting victims, saying: "my thoughts and prayers are with them."
