Police have released CCTV footage of a getaway car used in the shooting of a man at a pub in Greater Manchester.

Mark Short, 23, died when a masked gunman opened fire in the Cotton Tree Inn in Droylsden on 25 May.

Two other men suffered gunshot wounds to their legs and a third suffered a wound to his back in the incident.

A 27-year-old, 29-year-old and 37-year-old have been arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed in connection with Mr Short's death.

The CCTV footage shows the suspects pulling up outside the pub and one man getting out of the car and going into the pub.

It shows the same man walking out of the pub about 15 seconds later, getting into the car and driving off down Market Street, towards Audenshaw.

The car is a blue Ford Focus, which police say may have been in the Droylsden area for some time prior to the shooting.

Det Supt Dominic Scally said: "If you saw the car and have any details about the people in the car, the registration plate or any other information, please contact us.

"I am particularly interested in any sightings of the car in the Droylsden area prior to the shooting."

After the incident, the car was driven off down Market Street and police believe it may have gone past the Lazy Toad Pub.
