    Detectives have arrested two people after a man was shot in Huddersfield.

    The shooting took place at around 10.00pm last night (10 December) on Walpole Road.

    The injured male, aged 21, was approached by two males whilst in his car and shot. The two male suspects fled the scene but were arrested shortly after by police.

    The victim was taken to hospital for medical treatment. He is in a stable condition and his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

    Detective Inspector Mark Atkinson of the Firearms Prevent Team, said: “Any firearms incident will cause some concern in our local communities, but I would like to reassure members of the public that we take these incidents extremely seriously and have two males currently in custody in relation to this.

    “I would encourage anyone who witnessed anything in the area last night to come forward and speak to the police to assist with our enquiries.

    “We will be conducting high visibility patrols in the area throughout today to reassure the public and officers from the Homicide and Major Enquiry team are conducting enquiries today to establish the circumstances of the incident.”
