Shots were fired at a wedding party with more than 100 guests in Wolverhampton sparking a major investigation.
Police received a number of calls to the Gujarati Association on Mander Street, Merridale, at around 9.30pm on Saturday night.
It is believed a car drove up to the back of the venue before someone got out of the vehicle and fired a number of shots at another car parked at the site.
A gun was then fired back towards the attacker from the direction of the wedding party by another person, according to reports.
No one is thought to have been injured but a vehicle was damaged and will be forensically examined, police said.
