Two men have been arrested after shots were fired in Manchester following a carnival.
The men, aged 24 and 30, were arrested in the Baguley and Fallowfield areas under suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm.
It follows a shooting in Moss Side on Sunday 12 August at about 2.30am when a suspected shotgun was discharged. This was the same weekend the Caribbean Carnival was taking place.
Twelve people had to be treated at hospital for injuries including a 12-year-old girl.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Larkin, who is leading the Major Incident Team investigation, said: “Since this dangerous attack we have trawled through all available CCTV and intelligence to try and piece together the events of that morning.
“Today our investigation has led us to the arrest of two men and we will continue to question them in relation to the shooting. Our priority is, and will continue to be, to find those responsible.
“I would still urge the community to come forward with information as our investigation does not stop here. If you know anything, then please tell us.”
