Officers say they were called to Forester Grove in the town earlier today.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police told Gedling Eye: “We were called at 1.10pm today to what appears to be a firearm discharge in Forester Grove, Carlton.
“No one sustained any injuries; a scene remains in place whilst detectives continue to investigate.”
A flood alert issued to villages in Gedling borough near the River Trent has now been lifted.
The Environment Agency had warned those living in Burton Joyce, Colwick and areas of Netherfield that flooding was possible after river levels continued to rise after recent heavy rainfall.
That warning has now been lifted.
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: “Nottingham Trent levels have fallen and are below levels of concern. There is no longer a threat of further flooding.
“Communities near to the River Trent should now be clear of water although some standing water may remain. We recommend caution as the situation could change. We are closely monitoring the situation.”

Emma Anderson, a community support worker for the County Dementia Outreach Service, a role within the ; was named as ‘Unsung Hero of the Year’ at the Outstanding Service Contribution and Recognition Scheme (OSCARS).
The awards are hosted each year by Nottinghamshire Healthcare and recognises and rewards staff and volunteers who have gone the extra mile to deliver high quality healthcare services across the Nottinghamshire.
Emma, 42, won Unsung Hero of the Year for her work supporting staff in nursing homes to care for their residents with dementia. As well as implementing specialist treatment plans for residents, she works with care home staff to suggest and demonstrate ways they can improve a resident’s quality of life.
Louise Page, clinical specialist for the County Dementia Outreach Service, nominated Emma for the OSCAR.
She said: “Emma will challenge clinicians and care homes if she feels people are not working in a patient’s best interests. Her knowledge and expertise in dementia care and her passion and commitment to provide high quality care is obvious to all that meet her.”
Emma was delighted to have scooped an award during the evening.
She said: “Working with my patients – giving them a quality to their life and enabling others to communicate with them by understanding their needs – is what I enjoy most. I work in a team who support each other and are passionate about what they do.
“It feels amazing to have won! All of the nominees in my category deserved to be there and I feel very proud to have taken the OSCAR home.”
The OSCARS is now in its fifteenth year and is delivered with sponsorship from a variety of public and private organisations, including MITIE. This year, 171 individuals and teams were nominated, across the nine categories judged by staff, volunteers and service users.
Ruth Hawkins, Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust chief executive, said: “We were delighted to hold our fifteenth OSCARS awards this year, to celebrate the extraordinary hard work and remarkable achievements of our staff and volunteers. Congratulations to all the winners.
“As always, it was another fantastic evening and I hope all those who were shortlisted enjoyed the opportunity to share their successes.
“It is more important than ever to recognise and thank our staff and volunteers for the valuable contribution they make to both the Trust and the wider NHS. Their dedication is truly valued, as shown in the many nominations we received, and makes a real difference to everyone who uses our services.”
Trevor Simms was standing in the kitchen in his home on Wollaton Avenue, Gedling, when the pick-up truck crashed through the wall of the property.
Luckily, the truck had hit a streetlight outside the house, causing it to swerve slightly and miss the part of the kitchen where the 72-year-old was standing.
Police, fire crews, the council and Western Power were quick to react and the scene was cleared in six hours.
Trevor’s daughter, Victoria Simm was full of praise for the emergency services following the incident.
She told Gedling Eye: “My dad was standing directly on the other side of the wall so it was a bit of a shock for him. Miraculously nobody was hurt and that’s the only thing that matters.
“I can’t praise all the services enough to be honest. The fire service even fitted extra smoke detectors in the house for Dad after they’d checked the house and car out.
“The council also were kind enough to resurface the pavement where the street light got ripped out after Western Power sorted out the electric.”

A school in Gedling has been recognised as one of the best in the country
Carlton le Willows ranked in UK top 20% thanks to students’ great GCSE results in 2017.
The academy received an SSAT Educational Outcomes Award for being in the top 20% of non-selective schools nationally for attainment, based on students’ best 8 average point scores at the end of Key Stage 4 last year.
Head teacher Craig Weaver said he was delighted with the award.
He said: “To be in the top 20% nationally is a fantastic achievement and is all down to the hard work and dedication of students and staff. Well done to them all.”
In 2017 Carlton le Willows recorded impressive GCSE results with 79% of students gaining five or more GCSEs at Grade 4 (the new C), including English and Maths, with 28% securing A*/A or equivalent (up 7% on last year).
Strong results in core subjects were all significantly above average. In English 33% of students gained 7 (A) or above, 32% achieved 7 and above in Maths and more than 1 in 4 students secured an A*/A in Science.
Data from the Dept of Education and Ofsted, was analysed by SSAT (the Schools, Students and Teachers network), and compared with a national database of results with the highest performing in a range of key measures granted an award.
Carlton le Willows will be presented with the award in the summer term in a ceremony attended by winners from across the region.
Sue Williamson, SSAT chief executive, said: “The Educational Outcomes Award recognises an important aspect of the schools’ work, but, as we know, there is much more to recognise in a good school like Carlton le Willows Academy.
“SSAT is pleased to recognise the quality of leadership and the hard work of all staff to ensure the success of every child. A big thank you and well done to pupils, parents, staff and governors.”
The close season – which is enforced by the Environment Agency – prevents fishing for coarse fish, like barbel and chub, for three months to give the fish a chance to breed.
The close season, which runs from March 15 until June 15, applies to all rivers, streams and drains in England but does not apply to most still-waters and canals
During the close season Environment Agency enforcement offices along with support from the Angling Trusts Voluntary Water Bailiffs will be out on rivers and streams making sure people are observing the close season.
They will also be checking lakes and ponds to make sure people who are fishing have a valid rod licence. Anyone fishing without a fishing licence can expected to be prosecuted.
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: “Our job is to protect fish stocks and improve fisheries. This includes rescuing fish in distress, improving habitat and restocking rivers with 450,000 fish a year.
“The majority of anglers, who fish legally, rightly demand that we take action to catch offenders.
Our enforcement officers, supported by Angling Trust voluntary bailiffs, will be targeting illegal fishing. We urge anyone to report illegal fishing as quickly as possible by calling our incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60.”
You can check which still waters and canals still have a close season in operation by checking the byelaws which apply in your area at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-fishing-byelaws.
Anyone who wants to go fishing needs to buy a fishing licence. A full annual licence costs £30 (short term and some concessionary licences are also available) and are available online at www.gov.uk/get-a-fishing-licence.
Hutchinson’s goal came after the visitors had taken the lead inside 30 seconds through Joe Lumsden.
A draw was a fair result on the night with Steels looking the better side in the opening 45 minutes but Carlton were much more threatening after the break.
Manager Wayne Scott made three changes from the side which lost at Dunkirk last time out. In came the returning Brandon Mutibvu and Louis Danquah along with debutant Kane Baldwin, one of the clutch of recent loan signings from Mansfield Town. They replaced the suspended Riece Bertram plus Niall Davie and Eddie Schoenecker.
Steels got off to a flying start and were ahead on 28 seconds. Lumsden advanced on goal and fired past Jack Steggles.
The visitors should have doubled their lead six minutes later when Brodie Litchfield cut inside the area to give himself an excellent chance, but he fired high over the bar.
The Millers equalised in unusual circumstances on 17 minutes. Mamoke Akaunu drove forward and earned a corner. Hutchinson came to take it, saw a gap at the near post and curled his flag kick straight into the net despite the belated efforts of Tom Charlesworth and goalkeeper Jordan Greaves to keep it out.
It was Steels who maintained the upper hand though and a Scott Ruthven volley was cleared off the line as the Carlton defence just about held firm.
Rory Coleman then fired in a dangerous free kick which was also well cleared while at the other end Hutchinson hit a lovely free kick inches wide with Greaves well-beaten.
Steggles then did well to hold onto another close range effort from Litchfield as Steels sought to reignite their play-off challenge.
Carlton’s best move of the half saw Mutibvu play a lovely ball through to Kaylum Mitchell. His shot fell to Akaunu whose own shot was deflected wide for a corner.
The Millers looked far more of an attacking threat in the second half. Akaunu ran directly at the Steels defence and his dangerous cross was cleared.
It was Steels who went closest to scoring next however. Litchfield’s fine run and cross down the right was only half cleared and when the ball fell to Ruthven his excellent 25-yard drive crashed against the post and flew to safety.
The Millers responded and a delightful passing move saw Mitchell sprung clear of the Steels defence. As he advanced on goal he elected to turn the ball onto his left foot and his shot was well-saved by Greaves.
Scott brought on another Mansfield loanee, Tyler Blake, and he looked a dangerous threat to Steels for the remainder of the game.
Steggles made a comfortable save from a Lumsden header before Mitchell and Akaunu ran clear on a two-on-two break. Mitchell delayed his pass too long and the chance was lost.
Blake then advanced to the left bye-line, put over a lovely cross into the area which Akaunu just failed to connect with in front of a gaping goal.
At the back, Carlton looked strong defensively, with Daniel Fletcher and Kieran Walker commanding at centre-half in particular. Going forward, the Millers were forcing Steels back but were perhaps guilty of over-playing instead of shooting and Ruthven almost made them pay, firing just wide from the edge of the box.
Carlton had a series of corners which came to nothing and it was Steels who had the final chance, with Lumsden shooting wide at the near post in added time.
The service is being put in place while Nottingham Road is closed over five nights from March 18, between 7pm and 6am.
The free bus will begin operating from Monday, March 19 and run until Saturday, March 24. It will transport passengers between Carlton Square and the Lowdham War Memorial, via Stoke Bardolph.
The Shuttle bus has been timed to meet the Pathfinder 100 buses from Nottingham at Carlton Square (Blacks Head PH stop). Passengers heading into Nottingham during the evening can catch the bus to Carlton Square and catch a bus into the city centre.
No free shuttle bus will operate on Sunday (18th). The last bus from Nottingham to serve Burton Joyce will be the 18:05 departure. The last bus from Burton Joyce will be at 17:24 to Nottingham.
The N100 Night Bus won’t be serving Burton Joyce during this time, so customers will need to catch the 23:05 bus from Nottingham, to connect with the shuttle bus at Carlton Square.
The last Pathfinder 100 buses to operate their full normal route will be:

Increased funding for the Gedling Access Road, a new cycle route in Arnold and Carlton and improvements to the A60 traffic signals on the A60 near Ravenshead were some of the local schemes which were today formally approved by councillors.
They will now receive a slice of the £31m being invested in the county’s transport infrastructure in 2018/19 – a rise of £5m since the initial plans were drawn up last November.
Schemes set to benefit from the first slice of additional £20m highways funding, announced in January, all received the formal go-ahead. All are due to be completed within the next financial year. These include:
• £3.25m worth of repairs to 111 residential roads around the county.
• More than £100,000 of the additional funding will also be invested towards 28 new interactive speed signs across the county to help address community speed concerns.
Councillors have also gave the green light to move forward with a number of significant infrastructure projects in the borough during 2018/9. These include:
• Continued investment to create the new £40m Gedling Access Road, which will help deliver proposed local housing. Construction is due to start Autumn 2018 and open to traffic in 2020.
• Improvements to traffic signals on the A60 Nottingham Road in Ravenshead
• Plans for a new cycle network in Arnold and Carlton; and the completion of cycling improvements in Beeston to encourage people to cycle – part of D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership sustainable transport programmes.
Nottinghamshire County Council’s committee chairman, Cllr John Cottee said: “Journey time delays, road safety and condition of our roads are the main issues which residents are telling us about – so these plans aim to help address these priorities.
“And while the additional £20m worth of highways funding, announced in January, is predominantly being used to improve our residential roads most in need of maintenance and repair work, the money will also help address road safety by funding new pedestrian crossings and interactive speed signs.
“We are also following up on our commitment to having extra investment in pothole repairs in 2018/9, with an additional £2m confirmed, which is part of a £25.5m budget for highways maintenance.
He added: “We think this programme makes the best use of budgets as well as offering a sensible balance of schemes to reflect the needs of each district.”
Various public consultations are due to take place in the coming months as feedback from local residents, businesses and interest groups are vital in shaping transport plans such as the cycling schemes and flood alleviation schemes planned for next year.
