The incident took place in the Darnall area of Sheffield, South Yorkshire Police said.

Emergency services were called to Wilfred Drive at 11.27pm with reports a man had been shot in the chest.

He remains in a critical, life-threatening condition in hospital.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said four men were quickly arrested in connection to the incident.

The suspects, aged 20, 22, 28 and 29, remain in custody.

Police urged anyone with information, including relevant CCTV or dashcam footage, to get in touch.

Chief Inspector Andy Knowles said: "This is an abhorrent incident that has left a man fighting for his life.

"Gun crime poses a great threat to the safety and well-being of our community, putting innocent people at risk of being caught up in an offender's actions.

"It will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

"We are committed to taking firm, decisive action against anyone who chooses to engage in violence or carry illegal firearms, but we are stronger with your help - our community's support.

"We are thankful to those who have assisted officers so far in our inquiries and urge anyone who believes they have footage or information to assist to get in touch."

Police officers remain in the area to deal with questions or concerns from the community.

It sounds extreme until you discover that the man he's referring to was the ruthless Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler.

Hitler's right-hand man, Himmler was a feared and fanatical man known for his leading role in the Final Solution and Holocaust.

So, imagine how Henrik felt when aged 47 he discovered by chance that they were related.

Carefully, he recounts the moment in 2024 which would change his life forever.

He explains he'd been restless for most of the day so started watching a documentary about the Nazis online.

Interested in what he had seen, he took to the internet to find out more.

But when he opened one website, the face of his maternal grandmother, Hedwig Potthast, stared back.

Beneath it a label said, "Himmler's mistress".

Further research revealed Himmler was his mother's biological father and Henrik's grandfather.

"How do you process that you're related to one of the biggest criminals in history?" I ask during our meeting in Berlin.

"You don't," Henrik quickly replies.

He says the discovery prompted him to ask a string of questions about everything he thought he knew.

"Who am I? Who was I? Why wasn't I told the truth for 47 years?" he says.

"After 47 years, my life was like a lie," he adds.

While he doesn't have a definitive answer, he believes his parents shielded him from the truth to protect him.

He opens a photo album and shows me photos of Hedwig.

It's 1935 and she's young at the time and smiling slightly.

By 1938, Henrik says she and Himmler had confessed their love for each other.

They had met through work at the notorious secret police headquarters in Berlin, where she was employed as his private secretary.

It wasn't long before they began their affair.

"She was a friendly person," Henrik says as he thinks about the woman he used to call "Mutti," an affectionate term meaning mother.

"I've never thought she could be the mistress of a mass murderer. Knowing that, of course, was a shock," he adds.

During research for the interview, I read that Potthast was a convinced by Nazi.

One article even claimed she had had a copy of Adolf Hitler's notorious book "Mein Kampf" bound with human skin.

I ask Henrik if he's heard about this?

"She knew. I think she knew everything," he says, dispelling any idea she was a naive young woman somehow oblivious to her lover's horrors.

"They were lovers. Monster lovers. I even heard that she encouraged Himmler to accelerate." Henrik says.

Letters between the pair show Himmler affectionately referring to Hedwig as "bunny."

In one, he signs off "with endless fond thoughts and greetings."

Despite being married to someone else when Henrik's grandmother got pregnant, Himmler believed he was spreading the master race and therefore had his name added to Henrik's mother's birth certificate.

His blood tie with Henrik is confirmed in black and white.

I ask him if that genetic link frightens him.

"Of course. You ask yourself, 'What is my inheritance from that?'" Henrik replies.

The head of the SS death squad, Himmler was a principal architect of the extermination camps under the so-called Final Solution, a Nazi term for the deliberate and systematic genocide of European Jews.

They created sprawling camps designed for death where millions of people, mainly Jews, were murdered.

Given the extent of his crimes, I'm interested to hear how Henrik views Himmler now he knows about their relationship.

"Mass murderer," "devil," "demon," are some of the words he comes up with.

"All the bad things you can imagine," he adds.

"And then you have to put grandfather on the end of that list," I reply.

"Yeah, Hitler's deputy and grandfather," he says, slowly. "He is my grandfather. I can't do anything about that."

While he can't change his heritage, Henrik wants to ask Himmler's victims for forgiveness and fully divorce himself from his grandfather's dark past.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) has launched an investigation, saying staff involved have been suspended.

NHSGG - the largest health board in Scotland - blamed human error for the incident at the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Families have been informed, and the patients' remains are now with the funeral directors supporting them.

The incident is understood to have taken place last month.

Dr Scott Davidson, medical director at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: "I would like to offer my sincere apologies to both families affected.

"We have very rigorous processes for the identification and labelling of bodies from arrival in our mortuaries until their release into the care of an undertaker.

"It is of deep regret that these processes have not been adhered to on this occasion, and that as a result two families have been caused significant additional distress at an already very difficult time.

"We launched an immediate investigation into this incident and will ensure that learning is applied."

The US president, in a Truth Social post announcing the attack, said that "ISIS terrorist scum" had been targeted with "powerful and deadly strikes".

In a series of attacks on 25 December, the US hit areas of northwestern Nigeria, working in cooperation with the country's government.

However, Bola Tinubu, adviser to the president in Abuja, told Sky News that he wasn't sure who exactly was targeted in Washington's strikes.

Instead, Mr Tinubu said that details were "sketchy" and he hoped more information would emerge in the coming hours and days. He also said he hoped his country's cooperation with the US would continue.

Mr Tinubu added that it could have been Lakurawa, Boko Haram or the so-called Islamic State - or affiliated groups - that were targeted.

Trump's claims of Christian persecution

The attacks came about after persistent claims from the White House and Mr Trump in recent months that Christians were being persecuted and attacked in Nigeria.

It is true that Christian communities have suffered in the country - where multiple armed groups operate and pose challenges to the government - but data suggests violence against Muslim communities has been reported at a similar rate.

When it comes to attacks on religious sites, more have been reported at mosques over the past year than at churches.

Before 2025, incidents at churches were more common.

It's been suggested to Sky News, including by the Nigerian president's adviser, that Mr Trump's claims of Christian persecution were more for his domestic support base.

'My family is afraid'

On the ground in Nigeria, locals were left rattled by the attacks.

So far, strikes have been confirmed to have taken place in Jabo, in the Sokoto region, and in Offa, in the Kwara region.

In Jabo, Balira Sa'idu said the strikes "changed everything". The 17-year-old added: "I am supposed to be thinking about my wedding, but right now I am panicking. The strike has changed everything. My family is afraid, and I don't even know if it is safe to continue with the wedding plan in Jabo."

Sanusi Madabo, a 40-year-old farmer, said he was preparing for bed in the same village when he heard a loud noise that sounded like a plane crashing. He said he and his wife rushed outside to see the sky glowing red.

The light from the fire burned bright for hours, Madabo said, adding: "It was almost like daytime."

He only learned later that he had witnessed the US attack on an alleged IS camp.

After the strikes were announced on Christmas Day, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said in a social media post: "More to come..."

Eight people were taken to hospital after they were stabbed by a man with a knife at a factory of the tyre maker Yokohama Rubber Co. in the city of Mishima, in the Shizuoka prefecture, west of Tokyo, according to the fire department.

Seven others were injured by bleach thrown at them during the attack, and taken to hospitals for treatment, the fire department said.

The attacker, a 38-year-old man, was arrested for alleged attempted murder at the factory, police said.

The motive for the attack is as yet unknown.

The fire department said five of the people who were stabbed were in serious condition, but other details were not available.

All were conscious while they were being transported to hospitals, according to media reports.

The suspect is believed to be a former employee at the factory, Kyodo news agency said, quoting investigative sources.

He was carrying a survival knife and wearing what appeared to be a gas mask, Japanese newspaper Asahi reported, citing investigators.

Japan has strict gun control laws, and violent crimes are rare, but there have been a number of high-profile knife attacks in recent years.
