Christmas Day 'shooting' Darnall: Second arrest over suspected attempted murder
Police have made a second arrest following the shooting of a man in Sheffield on Christmas Day.
South Yorkshire Police arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder last night (January 20), following an incident on the evening of December 25, last year.
He remains in police custody at this time.
Emergency services were called to Wilfred Drive, Darnall, on Christmas Day after a 20-year-old man was allegedly shot in the chest.
Police said this morning that the injured man remains in hospital, where he is still in a critical condition.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Cartwright said: "I want to highlight again just how much we appreciate the help and support of our local communities.
"We are always stronger when we work together and we are grateful for the information and intelligence provided by members of the public."
Yesterday’s arrest is the second in connection with the shooting.

He appeared before Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Saturday (January 17) and has been remanded in custody ahead of his next hearing before Sheffield Crown Court next month.
