"On Saturday (24 January), officers were called reports of a "disturbance" on Richmond Street at 5am. Police found the victim at a property on the street alongside a gun. As per The Tab, police were also seen searching an abandoned Mercedes G-Wagon on Princess Street, a two-minute walk from the crime scene."
"The victim, who is in his twenties, suffered a gunshot wound to his leg, which Greater Manchester Police have said will not be life-threatening or life-changing. GMP believe the attack was "targeted" but was not a hate crime, and a gun had been discovered close to where the injured man was found, according to the BBC. Six men, whose identities have yet to be revealed and who are aged between 23 and 26, have been arrested on suspicion of affray and firearm offences in connection with the incident."
"After exploring many lines of enquiries, I can confirm that this is not a hate crime of any nature, and I think it is important to share that update due to the locality of the incident."
