He was taken to the QMC and died later as a result from his injuries.

Alan Simpson, MP South Notts quoted by the BBC: "As I understand it the lad was on his bike in the middle of the precinct when he was approached by another youth who, at point blank range, pulled a gun and shot him in the chest. He then took the bike and rode off. It seems to me you can't get much more brazen than that," he said.
