POLICE arrested three youths on Thursday in connection with a shooting incident at a Redditch school.

A massive hunt was sparked last Tuesday when youths were seen firing an air pistol at children at St Augustine's School, Stonepits Lane, Hunt End.

Three pupils were hurt in the attack and suffered bruising.

The youths who have been arrested were bailed pending further inquiries.

It is believed a ball-bearing air pistol was used in the attack from woods behind the school.
