Four people arrested after police officer was shot in Nottingham

The male officer is in a stable condition and remains in hospital.

The suspects fled the scene straight after the shooting, sparking a manhunt across the city and its surrounding areas.

On Sunday evening, officers stopped a vehicle in the Radford area of Nottingham and arrested its three occupants.

One of the arrested was a 27-year-old woman, who was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a firearm with an intent to endanger life.

A 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Officers also stopped a vehicle in Bedfordshire in the early hours this morning (19 October) before arresting an occupant, a 30-year-old man, on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All four suspects remain in police custody where they continue to be questioned by detectives.

The cordon in Angel Row has now been lifted, but a visible police presence in the area remains.

Assistant Chief Constable Claire Rukas, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “A team of experienced detectives continues to work tirelessly to establish exactly what happened before, during and after this appalling incident.

“I am pleased that four arrests have now been made and hope this provides some reassurance to the public as those detained are questioned in connection with the discharge of the firearm.

“The police cordon in Angel Row has now been lifted, and I would like to thank local businesses, residents and members of the public for their patience, support and understanding while officers carried out vital enquiries and recovered evidence from the scene.

“The injured officer continues to recover in hospital and is receiving support from colleagues and loved ones.

"We ask that his privacy is respected at this time. Our thoughts remain with him, and with his family, friends and colleagues, who have all been affected by this deeply shocking incident.”
