A man in his early 20s has been shot dead outside a Bristol pub, police have confirmed.
The shooting happened at about 0410 BST outside the Coach House pub in Stapleton Road, Easton. Police say a man and a woman are being treated at Bristol Royal Infirmary for injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.
The road at the scene of the shooting has been closed in both directions between Warwick Road and Oxford Place.
Keti Sarguna, who lives just off Stapleton Road, said she had heard the shots.
She said: "I heard a commotion and I heard shots going off. It didn't sound like gun shots at all, it sounded like fireworks.
"Police are searching the area right now. Everything's shut off. We just know we have to go around the back."
The St Pauls Carnival, which took place nearby on Saturday, was attended by tens of thousands of people.
