Four arrested after man shot in Sheffield on Christmas Day

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was shot in the chest on Christmas Day.

Emergency crews were called to Wilfred Drive, in the Darnall area of Sheffield, at about 23:30 GMT and took the 20-year-old to hospital.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said he remained in a “critical, life-threatening condition” on Boxing Day.

The suspects, aged 20, 22, 28 and 29, remain in police custody, they added, as officers urged anyone with information, including any relevant CCTV, to contact them.

A police cordon remains in place.

Ch Insp 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 wellbeing 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 thankful to those who have assisted officers so far in our enquiries and urge anyone who believes they have footage or information to assist to get in touch.”
