A 16-year-old boy remains in critical condition after being shot on London Road, Sheffield, on Monday evening.
Emergency services raced to the scene at 5.15pm. The schoolboy was rushed to hospital, where he battles for his life.
Two Arrested as Police Launch Raids
Police Scotland swooped in Aberdeen on Saturday, arresting a 26-year-old man and charging him with attempted murder.
A 23-year-old woman was also detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Back in Sheffield, officers raided the CitiHouse guesthouse around 8pm, sealing off Great Western Road with a large cordon.
Forensics scoured the area for evidence in the wake of the shooting.
More Arrests and Bail as Investigation Intensifies
- Earlier in the week, two boys aged 15 and 16 were arrested for conspiracy to commit murder but have since been released on bail.
- A 40-year-old man, initially held for assisting an offender, is also out on police bail awaiting further inquiries.
The 26-year-old man and 23-year-old woman remain in custody as police dig deeper.
Detective Chief Inspector Emma Knight: “This incident understandably caused a lot of concern and heartache in the local communities, and our thoughts remain with the child’s family. He is 16 years of age and should have been looking forward to his future, but now, his life has been put on pause as he remains in a critical condition following this horrific act of violence. I continue to urge anyone who has information that they think may be relevant to our investigation to please get in touch if you haven’t already done so.”
