Three people have been wounded during a Derbyshire sports contest today - as armed police rushed to the event after reports of fired shots and a man with a sword.
The horror incident happened at the Derby Kabaddi grounds on Elvaston Lane in Alvaston at around 4pm on Sunday afternoon, with a large police presence reportedly still in presence.
An eyewitness described a man being shot and then attacked repeatedly with a sword. Other witnesses claimed two gangs caused the violence and said it ruined their tournament.
