An investigation is underway after a man was injured in a shooting at an address in East Dene
Armed police responded to an address on Guild Road shortly 12:00am on Sunday (29 December) following reports a man had been injured.
Police found โevidence consistent with a firearms dischargeโ and the man was taken to hospital with injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening but has since been discharged.
A scene is currently in place on Guild Road and will remain in place today to allow forensic work to be carried out.
Police are also conducting house to house calls and checking CCTV in the local area as part of their enquiries, and will be carrying out additional patrols in the surrounding area in the coming days.
Detective Inspector David Robertson said: โWe will not tolerate gun crime in South Yorkshire, this mindless violence has no place in our communities.
โWe are working hard to bring those responsible for this incident to justice. In the coming days our officers will be in the area. If you have any concerns, please stop them and speak to them as they are there to help.
โAnyone with information that could help our investigation is urged to come forward. Did you see or hear anything suspicious, or do you have CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage that could help our enquiries?โ
