Three jailed after a man shot in Salford

    Three people have been jailed after a man was shot in Little Hulton. 

    Connor Holland, 22, was found guilty of possession of a firearm, assault and two counts of possession of ammunition. He was sentenced to 15 years and three months in prison. 

    His mother, Jane Blood, 41, was found guilty of possession of ammunition. She was sentenced to nine years in prison. 

    Connor’s stepfather, Dean Holland, 47, was found guilty of two counts of possession of ammunition. He was also sentenced to nine years in prison. 

    This followed a trial at Manchester Crown Court. On Tuesday 28 March 2017, they were sentenced but restrictions were in place so it could not be reported on at the time. The reporting restrictions have now been lifted. 

    On 4 June 2016, a 33-year-old man was shot in the chest on Mill Hill in Little Hulton and was seriously injured. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for a gunshot wound to his torso and left arm suffering serious, life-changing injuries.

    Detectives at Salford launched an investigation and the three were arrested. During a search, officers recovered live ammunition and all three were subsequently charged.
