Arrest made after Huddersfield shooting leaves teenager with leg injury
The 17 year old was seriously injured but is now out of hospital
Police have made an arrest as they continue to investigate the shooting of a teenage boy in Huddersfield last week.
The incident occurred on April 8 on in woodland near football pitches off Spaines Road in Birkby.
The shooting happened when the boy was walking with friends near the 'pavilion' on the Woodlanders FC pitches between 8:30pm and 9:00pm last Wednesday.
Witnesses reported seeing two masked men behind trees in a snicket off Richmond Avenue just before the firearm was discharged.
A 17-year-old suffered a non-life-threatening leg injury and has since been discharged from hospital.
Two homes were searched by police earlier this week, with officers today confirming they've arrested a 19 year old from Huddersfield on suspicion of attempted murder and firearms offences.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact police on 101.
