A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder during an investigation into a Leeds shooting. During the early hours of Wednesday (September 7) morning, armed officers searched two addresses in Beeston and Morley after a gun was fired at a car on Saturday evening.

The shooting occurred in Woodview Terrace, Beeston, when suspects fired at the car whilst on a motorbike, police believe this to be a targeted attack. A 23-year-old man has been arrested at Marshall Close, Morley, on suspicion of attempted murder and is in custody.

Scenes remain in place at both addresses whilst a forensic examination takes place. At about 2.30pm yesterday, armed officers, supported by a National Police Air Service helicopter, executed a search warrant at an address in Northcote Drive, Beeston, as part of the same investigation.
