Hunt launched after man shot in stomach

Police in Bradford say the victim’s injuries are not being treated as life-threatening.

They are appealing for information after they were called at 10.20pm on Wednesday to Wheater Road at its junction with Aberdeen Place. Det Insp Ian Bryar said: “The use of firearms in any way shape or form is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our city. Investigations are currently underway to trace those responsible.

“Anyone found guilty of a firearms offence can expect a lengthy sentence from the Courts and I would urge members of the local community to help in identifying anyone involved. The local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be in the area around Wheater Road providing patrols to reassure local residents and speak to them about any concerns.”

Any witnesses to the crime should phone Bradford South CID on 0845 6060606.
