Man shot in street

A man is stable in hospital after being shot in the street in Nottingham.

The shooting happened near the Woodborough pub on the junction between Woodborough Road and Manning Street at 2330 GMT on Sunday in St Ann's.

The 31-year-old man was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre and is described as "stable" by police.

It happened almost two years after 16-year-old Brendon Lawrence was shot nearby. His killers are still at large.

The area of St Ann's has been blighted by gun crime.

A resident recently filmed a gun battle taking place in the streets.

Nottingham police, who have been criticised for not dealing with the problem, introduced regular armed patrols in October 2000.

Police said a detailed forensic examination is taking place at the crime scene.
