Two more people have been charged with attempted murder after a 19-year-old man was shot in the street earlier this month.

The teenager was taken to hospital with life-changing injuries after the shooting on Hampden Crescent in the Gorton area of Manchester at about 17:45 BST on 7 October.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said on Friday that Kavon Haselden-Hoyle, 26, and a 17-year-old boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons - had been charged.

They were both due to appear on Saturday at Manchester Magistrates' Court, accused of attempted murder, conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life or enable another to do so.

A 16-year-old boy previously charged over the shooting has already appeared in court.

GMP said it was continuing to investigate the incident and urged anyone with any information or video footage to come forward.
