Two more men have been arrested in connection with a firearms incident on Clase Road in Morriston, swanseabaynews.com reports.
The men, aged 24 and 42, are being held in police custody, South Wales Police confirmed. A 29-year-old man previously charged over the incident has been remanded in custody after appearing at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Thomas Gilheaney was charged with affray and possessing an offensive weapon. He was arrested the day after the incident and is due to appear at Swansea Crown Court next month.
A 41-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, both arrested within hours of the original incident, remain on bail.
The incident occurred on the A48 Clase Road, alongside Asda, at around 4.15pm on Friday 6 November. A car at the scene sustained damage that South Wales Police described as "consistent with a firearms discharge."
Officers declared a critical incident and armed police were deployed to the scene. Clase Road and Upper Fforest Way were closed for much of the night before reopening in the early hours of Saturday. Morriston Town AFC cancelled its firework display at The Dingle that evening on police advice.
South Wales Police said it is not aware of any injuries connected to the incident, or of any wider threat to the public.
Chief Superintendent Stephen Jones said on Saturday: "While enquiries remain ongoing, we believe the individuals involved are likely to be known to one another."
The force's Major Crime Investigation Team is leading the ongoing investigation.
Detectives are appealing for dashcam footage from drivers who used Clase Road, Samlet Road, Upper Forest Way or Valley Way between 4.15pm and 4.30pm on 6 November. Officers are also seeking footage from anyone who travelled along Valley Way between 12pm and 1.30pm that day.
