Page Hall is a neighbourhood in north-east Sheffield, with busy roads, shops and a large, diverse local population. Owler Lane runs through the area and includes homes, businesses and a petrol station.
Attempted murder is a criminal allegation that police can investigate when they believe someone may have intended to kill another person. It is separate from a charge or conviction: suspects are entitled to a fair legal process, and a court decides whether offences have been proved.
Violent disorder is an offence involving violence or threats by a group in public, where their behaviour could make others fear for their safety. Police may increase patrols, make arrests and seize weapons while they investigate whether separate incidents are connected.
