Four arrested after police officer shot in Nottingham

Four people have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a police officer in Nottingham, British police said on Monday, according to Anadolu Agency.

The male officer was in stable condition in hospital after being shot on Angel Row early Sunday evening. Nottinghamshire Police said he had approached two suspects at a bus stop when the shooting happened.

Two women, aged 27 and 25, and a 24-year-old man were arrested after police stopped a vehicle in Nottingham’s Radford area on Sunday evening.

The 27-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life. The 24-year-old man and the 25-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A 30-year-old man was arrested in Bedfordshire early on Monday on suspicion of assisting an offender after police stopped a vehicle.

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

Rukas welcomed the arrests and said she hoped they would reassure the public as investigators questioned the suspects in connection with the shooting.

Police said a large cordon set up on Angel Row after the incident had since been lifted.
