A 24-year-old man has been left fighting for his life in hospital after he was shot in Reginald Street, Chapeltown, at 7.15pm yesterday.
Officers including armed police attended the scene and the National Police Air Service helicopter was also drafted in.
Detective Superintendent Jim Dunkerley, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said earlier today that a full investigation was under way.
