Detectives investigating two shootings in Bradford are treating both as targeted attacks.

Damage was caused to a house and car in Hill Top Road, Thornton in the early hours of Friday and a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg in Undercliffe Street, Bradford just before 2pm yesterday.

The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment.

His injury was found to be non life threatening and he is now recovering after receiving treatment.

Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen, of the Homicide and Major Enquiries Team, confirmed the incidents are not believed to be linked.

“We understand there will be concern from the communities where these incidents have occurred and are working closely with our colleagues at Bradford District to identify possible suspects for these matters, which we are treating as targeted attacks," he said.

“There will also be an increased police presence in both areas this weekend as we continue to make further enquiries into the circumstances around these discharges.

“We would ask if anyone has information on either incident to speak with our officers by calling 101, or to report it anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
