Detectives given extra time to question third suspect over Redruth attack
Two men were found with injuries caused by a gunshot and axe on Thursday night
Detectives have been given extra time to question a man in his 20s over a gun and axe attack in Redruth, Cornwall.
He's one of three people who've been arrested over what happened on Thursday night.
Two men were injured in what Devon and Cornwall Police have described as a serious assault.
Officers were called to the area of Drump Road at around 6.30pm on Thursday 6 July after receiving a report of a serious assault within a property in the area.
A man in his 30s sustained a gunshot wound to the back which is being treated as a life-threatening injury. He was taken to hospital where he is now said to be stable, and no longer in a critical condition.
A second man suffered a serious head injury which detectives believe was caused by an axe.
Devon and Cornwall Police Superintendent for West Cornwall, Ian Thompson, said:
“A high visibility police presence will remain in the area into next week whilst we carry out our investigation and also reassurance patrols.
“We would like to hear from anyone who hasn’t yet got in touch with dash-cam, doorbell or CCTV footage of the area from Thursday afternoon that could assist us with our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Devon and Cornwall Police on 101 or report via the force's website quoting log 785 of 6 July.
