Three hurt in shootings
Three people have been injured in weekend shooting incidents in West Yorkshire.

In the first, officers were called to a house in Water Street in the Springwood area of Huddersfield about 1150 BST on Friday.

There they found a 49-year-old man who had been repeatedly shot and had injuries to his chest, thigh and arm.

He is said to be in a stable condition in hospital.

Targeted attack

It is thought a gang of around five men burst into the house in what police believe was a targeted attack.

In the second incident, a 17-year-old youth is also receiving hospital treatment after being shot in the leg at about 0120 BST on Saturday.

Police say he was pulled from a telephone box in Archery Road in the Woodhouse area of Leeds before being attacked.

The third shooting incident was in Nassau Place in Chapeltown in Leeds at about 0300 BST on Saturday.

A man in his 30s was injured and is being treated in hospital.
