A man has been shot in the leg during a disorder in Bristol, according to Avon and Somerset Police.

Emergency services were called to the serious incident in Courtenay Crescent, Knowle, at around 8pm yesterday evening (2 November).

Later that evening, a 34-year-old man self-presented at hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

An investigation has been launched and a number of crime scenes are in place as officers continue to gather evidence.

A review of CCTV from around the area and house-to-house enquiries are among the enquiries being carried out.

A 32-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and he remains in custody.

Inspector Chris Green said: “This is a concerning incident in which a man has been shot in the leg. Thankfully the injuries he suffered are not life-threatening.

“At this time we believe this to be a targeted incident involving people known to each other.

“There will be a significant policing presence in the area over the coming days, including additional patrols, as we investigate this crime and we’d encourage any residents with concerns or worries to speak to officers within their Neighbourhood Policing team.

“If anyone saw this incident take place, or has information on who was involved, we’d urge you to get in touch as soon as possible. We’d also like to hear from anyone with dashcam or CCTV/video doorbell footage, which would assist this investigation.”
