Officers from the Cheshire and North Wales Firearms Alliance were scrambled to Old Padeswood Golf Club, near Mold on Saturday afternoon following reports of gunshots being fired. Armed response vehicles were seen on the golf club car park at 5pm on Saturday, as many as seven armed police officers were close by.
One bullet is believed to have hit a tree ricocheted off and hit a car in the golf club car park.
