South Yorkshire Police are investigating an overnight incident near Longley Park Sixth Form in Sheffield after residents reported hearing loud bangs. A road and footpath have been cordoned off, while scenes of crime officers examine the area; the sixth form has closed for the day because access is affected, although the incident is not connected to the school.

The school said police activity was taking place near its car park and advised people to avoid the area where possible. Police were expected to issue a statement on the incident, with no further details about the nature of the bangs or any casualties provided in the article.
