Arrest after man is blasted in face and chest in Doncaster gun attack

Armed officers descended on the house in Chalmers Drive, Clay Lane last night, after witnesses reported hearing several shots.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Officers responded to reports of a firearms discharge at 9:46pm on Friday.

"It is believed a 34 year-old man received wounds to his chest and face by a known man. His injuries are not believed to be life-threating.

"A 47 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm, he remains in police custody."

Residents say dozens of officers descended on the area last night with a man being led away from the scene.

One witness said that at least a dozen marked and unmarked police vehicles swooped on the house.

Officers with dogs and an ambulance were also present.

One witness said: “I’ve never seen anything like it – it was insane. There were so many police.”
