Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with the information you have requested.

Offences recorded by the police in which firearms were reported to have been used are published in our quarterly Crime in England and Wales bulletin. These data can be found in other related tables F1 and F2.

We also publish Offences involving the use of weapons data tables on an annual basis. These tables present data on offences recorded by the police in which firearms were reported to have been used by offence type, principal weapon and degree of injury. Data on firearm offences by police force area are also presented. However, we cannot identify the location of these offences at lower geography levels or provide information on offender characteristics.
