Ethan Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere (29/07/2001) of NFA has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, section 18 assault, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Three juveniles, alongside an 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, a man in his 20s and a man in his 40s who were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, have all been bailed pending further investigation.

Our officers have also recovered a firearm which is currently being analysed by specialist officers.

The victim – an 18-year-old man - was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.

Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from our Major Incident Team said: “Our investigation has been meticulous since the incident happened on Thursday, which has now led to us charging one of the eight males we arrested over the weekend.

“Whilst most firearms incidents are targeted and do not pose a threat to the wider public, we know the fear and anxiety these incidents cause amongst our communities.

“We have seized at total of 304 firearms since 2021, underlining our ongoing commitment to rid the streets of these weapons, ensuring those who live and work in Greater Manchester feel safe.”
