An area of Nottingham has been sealed off following reports of a gunman at a snooker club. | |
Officers were called to the Top Spot Snooker Club on Vine Terrace in Hucknall at about 14:40 GMT after a man was said to be "acting suspiciously". | |
Vine Terrace and High Street have been closed off. | |
A man claiming to be the gunman told reporters who called the snooker club: "It's none of your business why I'm here." | |
Answering the phone to the Nottingham Post, the man said "I'm the guy with the gun. | |
"I'm not sure what happened. I'm on my own in here, everyone else just ran off. I'm going to go home in a minute and chill out and watch TV and that." | |
Children at nearby Beardall Street Primary School were delayed going home and people were told by police not to leave the Byron Cinema because it was not safe. | |
Police have asked people to avoid the area. |
