Attempted murder probe launched after shooting in Bury

Описание: Police descended on Silver Street in Bury following reports of a shooting in the town centre on Wednesday evening (October 23).

The shooting happened at around 11.45pm on Wednesday. A man, aged 39, was rushed to hospital after being shot in the wrist, where he remains in a 'stable' condition, police said.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

A cordon has been in place throughout today (October 24) while officers carried out their work. Crime scene investigation officers attended the scene and bullet holes could be seen in one of the windows of Stanley's of Bury, which is situated on the popular road.

An attempted murder investigation has been launched. There is not believed to be any wider threat to the community in Bury, GMP added.

Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector, Andy Day, from GMP's Bury division, said: "This was a shocking attack, and an example of the type of violence that has no place in our community. A man has been seriously injured as a result of a senseless shooting and the lives of others were put in harm's way. It is vital that those responsible are brought to justice.

"While it is early in our investigation, we believe this to be an isolated attack with no wider threat to the community. We have a man in custody and numerous evidential opportunities are being followed.

The M.E.N has approached Stanley's for a comment.
