Two stewards shot at West concert

Two stewards have been shot during a concert held by rapper-producer Kanye West at the NEC near Birmingham.

One steward was still being treated in hospital, where he is in a serious condition after being shot in the face, stomach and foot. The second security guard has been released from hospital. He may have received a "graze" injury.

Officers are looking for a black man, aged 18 to 22, 5ft 10in tall, slim, with a moustache and platted hair. The man, who had no ticket, entered the foyer and was ejected. He then returned and shot stewards. He was with a black woman. Officers said between four and eight shots were fired. The scene of the shooting remains cordoned off for forensic examination.

Kanye West was performing the last night of his Touch The Sky tour in the UK. He played in Dublin's Point theatre last Saturday night.
