Man seriously injured following shooting in Bury

    Police investigating a shooting in Bury are treating it as a targeted attack.

    Shortly before 8:50am on Monday 18 June, police were called to Harris Drive, Unsworth to reports of a firearms discharge.

    A short time later a man in his 30s presented himself at hospital with injuries to his upper body.

    He remains in a serious condition.

    Greater Manchester Police said there are increased police patrols in the nearby area.

    Chief Inspector Phil Spurgeon, of GMP’s Bury Borough, said: “Our investigation remains in its early stages but I can confirm that from the information we have we are treating this as a targeted attack, and there is not believed to be any wider threat to the community.

    “We have increased reassurance patrols and dedicated armed response officers are patrolling the area, so I would encourage local residents to approach officers if they have any worries or concerns.

    “If you have any information relating to this incident, no matter how small or insignificant you think it may seem, I would ask you to please pick up the phone and contact police.”
