Christmas Day shooting leaves man fighting for life

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 20-year-old man was shot on Christmas Day.

The incident took place in the Darnall area of Sheffield, South Yorkshire Police said.

Emergency services were called to Wilfred Drive at 11.27pm with reports a man had been shot in the chest.

He remains in a critical, life-threatening condition in hospital.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said four men were quickly arrested in connection to the incident.

The suspects, aged 20, 22, 28 and 29, remain in custody.

Police urged anyone with information, including relevant CCTV or dashcam footage, to get in touch.

Chief Inspector Andy Knowles said: "This is an abhorrent incident that has left a man fighting for his life.

"Gun crime poses a great threat to the safety and well-being of our community, putting innocent people at risk of being caught up in an offender's actions.

"It will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

"We are committed to taking firm, decisive action against anyone who chooses to engage in violence or carry illegal firearms, but we are stronger with your help - our community's support.

"We are thankful to those who have assisted officers so far in our inquiries and urge anyone who believes they have footage or information to assist to get in touch."

Police officers remain in the area to deal with questions or concerns from the community.
