The victim was taken to hospital, where he remains in a serious but stable condition today.

The series of shootings began just after midnight last Friday when a gun was fired at a group of men congregating in Grimesthorpe Road, Burngreave.

Three of the men were wounded and taken to hospital.

At around 2am, another man was injured when a gun was fired at a flat on Club Garden Road, Sharrow.

Just before 7pm that night two groups of men opened fire at each other in Machon Bank, Nether Edge and around 30 minutes later a gun was fired at a house on nearby Union Road.

One man has been charged with drug offences after being arrested over the Machon Bank incident and another man arrested over the same offence was released under investigation.

Detectives are treating the shootings as ‘targeted’ attacks.

Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
