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.

“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.
