A 28-year-old man is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder after an incident in Oldham last night when shots were fired at a chip shop in Oldham on Minton Street
Part of the road was closed off for several hours as officers carried out their enquiries and identified a suspect later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
The window of a local chip shop was damaged, believed to have been caused by a firearm.
A vehicle has been recovered in connection with the incident and the premises remain closed while the investigation is taking place.
DCI Lindsay Booth said: “This was a frightening incident and not something we will not tolerate on the streets of Greater Manchester.
“This could have resulted in serious injury or death but fortunately no-one was injured.
“Our officers were on the scene quickly and will remain in the area for a few days, followed up by regular patrols.
“I would like to thank the residents of Minton Street and the surrounding area for their patience last night as they assisted our officers with their enquiries.
