A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after a 16-year-old was left fighting for his life following a shooting in Sheffield.
Police were called to London Road at approximately 5.15pm yesterday, where the teenager was found injured. The arrested boy remains in custody on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
London Road was closed between the junction of Sitwell Place and the Crowther Place turn-off, but reopened this afternoon. The incident has left locals feeling scared, according to Dari Saleh, who owns the nearby Marmaris Turkish restaurant.
Superintendent Martin Simcock, of South Yorkshire Police, condemned the attack, saying: "Gun crime and violent crime has no place in South Yorkshire, and the fact that a young boy is fighting for his life is appalling and will not be tolerated." He urged anyone with information to come forward.
