• Police searched a derelict brewery and other buildings for a suspected gunman in the Neepsend Lane, Penistone Road and Rutland Road area of Sheffield.
• Roads were closed in the area throughout rush hour, causing big delays on one of Sheffield's main roads - the A61, Penistone Road and surrounding routes.
• Many drivers were seriously delayed in getting to work.

• Between 11:30 and 12:00 Police completed their search, saying they were confident there was no substantive evidence to back up the initial report and reassured the public there was no threat or danger following the incident.    
• Police thanked people for their patience for the disruption caused by the search.

As part of our look back to 1966, I've been to meet the youngest of the Charlton brothers. 

Tommy Charlton, who lives in Rotherham, was a 20 year old apprentice, when his older brothers Bobby and Jackie played at Wembley in the World Cup Final. 

He now plays a gentler kind of sport every week in Rotherham. "Bob sent me a ticket for the final" he says "but I was too skint to travel down to London, so I watched it on the telly"  

An additional week was added to the weapons surrender to support the launch of South Yorkshire Police’s Organised Crime Group and Armed Criminality campaign.

They've launched a countywide campaign to give members of public the opportunity to safely hand in firearms and knives, until 1 August 2016, to try to remove illegal or unwanted weapons from local communities.

BBC Radio Sheffield has been marking 50 years since England beat West Germany at Wembley today.

There's been a special showing of the match, for listeners, at the radio station.

And we've all been getting into the spirit of the 1960s...

Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett has bemoaned his Championship rivals' 'massive' extra buying potential after being outpriced for one summer target, Sheffield United striker Che Adams.

Blues made an initial bid of £1.2m for the 20-year-old non-league discovery. But they have had a second offer turned down for the former Ilkeston FC man.

"You can name six or seven teams in this division who, if they want a deal doing, can massively overpay to get that deal done," Rowett told BBC WM.

After signing a new three-year deal last summer, Adams netted 12 more goals in a Blades career that has so far brought him 54 appearances, 17 of them as a substitute, earning him a lot of interested admirers.  

Two men have been arrested after a car compound on Moody Lane in Grimsby was broken into just after 02:00 this morning.

A police helicopter was deployed to the area after reports of two men breaking through the fence.

A 21-year-old and 30-year-old, both from Doncaster, were arrested shortly afterwards.

Scientists at the University of Sheffield develop a treatment that could mark a turning point in the fight against hospital superbugs: 

Three people have tested positive for the Zika virus in West Yorkshire. 

The NHS Trust in Calderdale has confirmed that the patients were carrying the infection after returning from overseas. 

So far 50 people in the UK have been infected with Zika, which is spread by mosquitoes found in the Americas.

A cream to fight superbugs has been developed here in South Yorkshire. The key facts are:

• Researchers develop new treatment to prevent bacterial skin infections
• New treatment can work on antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs’, such as MRSA
• Unlike conventional antibiotics, new therapy doesn’t directly kill bacteria, so doesn’t encourage evolution of resistance 

Here's how this pioneering new treatment can be used on antibiotic-resistant superbugs like MRSA
