A video claiming that there had been a shooting in a street is a hoax.
Last night a video shared on an Instagram account showed an ambulance which had been called to New Bank Road in Blackburn.
In the background a voice can be heard saying 'Shooting on New Bank Road'.
The video quickly circulated .
Police have confirmed that there had not been a shooting.
