Second drive-by shooting in past 24 hours
Detectives are investigating a second drive-by shooing in the last 24 hours.
Three men are in hospital following an assumed drive-by shooting in Reading, Berkshire, at about 22:30BST on Friday night.
The men were blasted with a shotgun in Elm Park Road, opposite Battle Hospital in the west of Reading.
It is the third gun shooting in the space of a week.
The shooting came after the incident in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire yesterday, in which 32-year-old David King of Stevenage was killed and another wounded. Police said the attack was “targeted.”
Mr King reportedly had a criminal record.
The shooting took place yesterday morning on Brewery Road, near a gymnasium and a supermarket, in the quiet market town of Hoddesdon.
And on Tuesday, there was a fatal shooting at a jeweller’s shop in Arnold, Nottinghamshire.
Shop owner, Marian Bates, was murdered after trying to prevent robbers from shooting her daughter, Xanthe.
