- Published
A man has been injured in a shooting in Nottingham.
The man was shot in the leg in what police believe was an "isolated incident" in Eversley Walk, Bestwood, on Friday at about 20:50 GMT.
The man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Officers said they believed two black men in their 20s were involved and headed towards Hazel Hill Crescent afterwards.
It comes as a woman was shot in the arm on 3 November in the city centre.
Patrols increased
Det Insp Kim Binns said: "This appears to be an isolated incident, unconnected to any of the recent serious incidents we've seen in Nottingham and there is no wider threat to the public.
"We have a team of people working on this around the clock."
She added patrols in the area had increased.
On 3 November, a woman was shot in the arm outside a bar in Nottingham city centre.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and has since been released on bail.
