A man has been arrested after a 12-year-old boy was shot in the leg in South Yorkshire.

The child, who is in a stable condition in hospital, was hit in the Arbourthorne area of Sheffield at about 15:45 on Sunday.

The arrested 30-year-old is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

South Yorkshire Police said the injured boy was "an innocent bystander".

The boy and three of his friends - aged 13, 15 and 16 - had been outside a sandwich shop on Northern Avenue when the shooting happened.

On Monday, Assistant Chief Constable Tim Forber said: "It's really important to say that we do not believe the victim or his friends were the target and they are entirely innocent bystanders to this incident."

"It appears that they have been caught in the line of fire of a targeted attack," he added.

Mr Forber said he believed a man was the target of the attack, which was thought to be related to a fall-out between two organised crime groups.

A man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was shot in the back has been released without charge.

Primary school pupils in Leeds could soon be having a vegan lunch as part of plans to combat climate change.

In the trial, Catering Leeds, who provide dinners to 182 local schools, will be giving the pupils "environmentally friendly" lunches to help reduce the city's carbon footprint.

The proposed menu would see vegan dishes introduced, with one non-meat day and one vegetarian day each week.

The scheme follows a survey which found 84 out of 88 children would "not object" to having one meat-free day a week to reduce their carbon footprint.

The meals are in the process of being finalised in consultation with all 182 schools.

Police received reports of a driver whose vehicle had come off the road on the Buttertubs Pass near Thwaite at about 11:00 on Saturday.

The motorist, who was in his 50s, died at the scene.

He was driving a "distinctive" black Land Rover Defender with a white roof, police say.

Parents in part of Sheffield say they're worried for the safety of their children in their own homes after a shooting involving a 12-year-old.

A boy underwent surgery after being shot in the thigh during a drive-by shooting on Sunday in Arbourthorne.

He is described as an "innocent bystander" by police and is expected to make a full recovery.

Local resident Jen Jones says parents are now stopping their children from sitting by windows in their homes in case they're shot at.

She says: "I've been talking to other parents and a lot of their living rooms will have a sofa along the back wall and another by the window.

"People are stopping their kids sitting on the sofa by the window. There are gunshots going off most nights in Arbourthorne".

Comedian Jason Manford has said he was disappointed his TV series Scarborough was not renewed as he thought the show portrayed an often overlooked group of people.

The sitcom about a group of friends in the North Yorkshire seaside town, which starred Manford, Catherine Tyldesley and Stephanie Cole, aired for one series last year, but has not been recommissioned.

Mr Manford says he was disappointed about the decision as the programme was "great fun to do and a lot of people enjoyed it".

"It's disappointing because I think it served an audience that's often forgotten, which is middle-aged, working class people who don't always get TV made for them.

"I thought it had a Last Of The Summer Wine feel to it," he added.

Huddersfield Art Gallery will close for up to a year at the end of this week as repairs to its roof get under way.

The Grade II-listed building on Princess Alexandra Walk hosts the work of artists such as Francis Bacon, LS Lowry, Thomas Gainsborough and Henry Moore.

The gallery sits in what's been described as the town's "Cultural Heart" after Kirklees Council announced last year it would build a new library, museum and live music venue in the area.

Councillor Rob Walker said although the temporary closure was "a shame", the repairs were "essential" and would secure the gallery's future in Huddersfield.

The cost of the renovation has not been made public.

The space will shut to the public from Friday, with artworks removed and some loaned to other venues.

A lorry driver caused the death of another motorist after stopping his lorry on the A19 near Sunderland, a court has heard.

Marcel Balan, 57, from Cope Street in Barnsley, is charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of causing death by driving without due care and attention.

John Robinson, who was 24 and from Peterlee, died after his Ford Fusion collided with the rear of Mr Balan’s lorry on March 12.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Mr Balan, who is from Romania, had stopped his DAF lorry in an unlit section of the southbound A19 just before midnight.

Prosecutor Mark Giuliani said Marcel Balan, who was on a series of deliveries for a national coffee chain, stopped his vehicle with “moderate to heavy braking” because he had missed his intended exit for the A1231 in Sunderland.

He told the jury the braking took “only eight seconds.”

The prosecution also argues Mr Balan had put his lorry into reverse and was intending to reverse up the slip road to his intended exit.

The court heard three seconds after he stopped his truck, John Robinson’s car collided with the rear of the stationary lorry.

Mr Robinson suffered "severe head injuries" and died at the scene.

Mr Giuliani told the court that for the driver “to stop alone, let alone make a stop so quickly was not only unnecessary but clearly dangerous”.

Marcel Balan denies all three charges. The case continues.

More police officers will be patrolling a Sheffield suburb after a 12-year-old boy was shot at the weekend.

The boy was shot in the leg in what police think was part of an ongoing dispute being organised criminal gangs.

It happened in Arbourthorne on Sunday, with shots being fired as the boy stood with a group of friends on Northern Avenue.

The boy isn't believed to have been the intended target, South Yorkshire Police said.

Specialist police officers are patrolling the suburb as part of their investigation, the force added.

Stuart Barton, District Commander for Sheffield, said: “We will have a high number of officers from lots of different teams in Arbourthorne over the coming weeks as we continue to investigate this horrendous incident.

“You will see an increase in police vehicles and officers in the community. They are there to support you and for you to speak to. I would urge you to take that opportunity."

Mobile speed cameras which were introduced on the Humber Bridge at the end of last year have made a noticeable difference, according to traffic officers.

Image source, PA Media

The introduction of mobile cameras on the Humber Bridge was sanctioned back in November after a survey found there were about 25,000 journeys each day and the "majority" of traffic broke the limit.

In September, one motorist was clocked travelling over the bridge at 132mph.

The road, which runs from Hessle to Barton upon Humber, has a speed limit of 50mph.

Ruth Gore, from Safer Roads Humber, says introducing the cameras has made a difference.

"Staff who work on the bridge and people who travel on the bridge on a daily basis have noticed that a lot more traffic is abiding by that 50mph speed limit," she says.
