Man shot in Wellingborough

A man who was taken to hospital after an incident on Friday evening (March 5) was shot, police have today revealed.

Officers appealed for witnesses over the weekend after the incident, in which they said a 24-year-old man was assaulted.

But today they've now revealed he was shot in the leg and detectives are again appealing for witnesses.
