Murder bid case: Herringthorpe man faces court

A ROTHERHAM man will appear at court again next week in connection with an attempted murder at Wombwell last weekend.

Nathan Brittle (22), of Herringthorpe, was arrested after a 41-year-old man was shot in the head on Sunday night.

Brittle appeared at Barnsley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was remanded in custody.

The alleged victim was shot in an alleyway running from Marsh Street to nearby Smith Street, in Wombwell, at 7.30pm on Sunday.

He was taken to hospital, where his condition is stable.

Eight other people, six men and two women, who were arrested in connection with the incident have now been released on police bail.
