Two men have been arrested over last week’s Elmore Road shooting.
On Thursday (5 February) a 31-year-old man from Hove was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 24-year-old man from Brighton has been detained on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and both are still in custody.
On Tuesday 27 January a 39-year-old man living in Elmore Road, Brighton, suffered shotgun wounds at 11.25pm.
Three men who went to his address fired a single shot through the door which hit him but did not cause life-threatening injuries. He was taken by ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton and was treated. The suspects had fled the scene by the time armed officers arrived.
