A man has appeared in court accused of attempted murder, following the shooting of a man in Huddersfield last year.

34 year old Richard Calvert, of Clare Hull, is also accused of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and two possession of drugs with intent to supply offences.

A man suffered leg injuries in the Fartown area of Huddersfield on October 29 last year.

Police were called to Wasp Nest Road around 9am, after reports someone had got out of a grey Seat Ibiza car and fired shots into the street.

The car left the scene shortly afterwards.

Calvert was remanded into custody and is next due to appear before Leeds Crown Court on March 4.
