Police investigating an attempted murder after a man was shot in Salford have arrested two people.
Warrants were executed yesterday (11 December) at five properties in Prestwich, Salford, Crumpsall, Manchester and Kent.
Two men, aged 35 and 39, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm.
The arrests follow the shooting of a man in his 20s who had been attending a music event at Kingston Mill on Cobden Street on 23 November before he was later shot outside the venue three times.
He was taken to hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. He has since been discharged.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Larkin of GMP’s Major Incidents Team said: “We are making good progress with our investigations and have this morning taken two men into custody.
“I’d like to stress again that we believe this shooting was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the wider community.
“While we have made two arrests, our investigations continue and we have set up a dedicated dropbox where people can leave any mobile phone footage they feel might assist our enquiries.
“This facility is totally anonymous and any footage deposited there will be treated in the strictest confidence.
“Perhaps you attended the club night at Kingston Mill on the evening of November 23 or were in the area at the time of the incident?
“Even the smallest piece of information can open up new lines of enquiry and help officers solve crimes likes this.
“If you have any footage, pictures or information that you think might assist us – then please get in touch.”
