Extraordinary street where there’s shooting? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strange

'extraordinary' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'street where there's shooting?' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'where there's shooting?' becomes 'range' (shooting range).
'st'+'range'='STRANGE'

(Other definitions for strange that I've seen before include "Irregular" , "Odd, alien" , "as quarks in certain hadrons" , "Slightly odd, a bit weird" , "Offbeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
