A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 12-year-old boy was gunned down in a shocking drive-by shooting.

The “entirely innocent” youngster was standing with friends in Sheffield, South Yorks, on Sunday (10/1) when a car sped past and a gunman opened fire.

The shooting was part of an ongoing feud between rival gangs but the child got “caught in the line of fire”, police revealed earlier this week.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and transported the boy to hospital, where he had surgery for leg injuries and remains in a stable condition.

South Yorkshire Police

A force spokesman said: “Emergency services were called to Northern Avenue at around 3.45pm on Sunday, where a 12 year old boy was found with a gunshot wound to his leg.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
