Officers from Greater Manchester Police's Major incident Team (MIT) investigating a firearms incident which occurred on Shaw Road in Oldham last Thursday (January 16) have charged a man with attempted murder.
Ethan Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere (aged 23), of no fixed abode, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, a section 18 assault, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
He was remanded in custody ahead of a scheduled appearance at Manchester Salford Magistrates yesterday (Wednesday).
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.
GMP 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 GMP's 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 a 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.”
GMP's Major Incident Team are still appealing to anyone with information around this incident to get in touch with them on 101 quoting log 1281 of 16/01/2025.
