Second attempted murder charge after reported gunshots outside Stevenage Police station
Reports of two vehicles driving erratically before gunshots outside Stevenage police station
A second man has been charged following an incident in Stevenage and Welwyn Hatfield last week.
Terry Holmes, aged 31, of Stevenage, has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and dangerous driving.
He has been remanded in custody and will appear at Hatfield Remand Court.
At around 6.15pm on Wednesday - 6th September - two vehicles are understood to have been driving erratically along the A414 from the direction of Essendon towards the A1(M).
The vehicles – a green Mercedes and a white flatbed van – then entered onto the motorway at the Welwyn junction, driving northbound towards Stevenage.
At around 6.30pm, both vehicles exited the motorway at the Stevenage Junction and the Mercedes collided with a private ambulance on the roundabout above the A1(M). Nobody was injured.
The Mercedes and van travelled on into Stevenage, along Lytton Way, and past the police station where gunshots were reportedly heard.
Lytton Way was later closed as a full investigation was carried out.
One man was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, believed to have been sustained prior to the incident.
“We hope the public feel reassured to know that a second person has been charged."
Detective Inspector Iain Macpherson, from the Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Those involved are believed to be known to each other and our investigation is ongoing so please get in touch if you have information or saw what happened.
“The green Mercedes remains outstanding and we are particularly keen to hear from anybody who thinks they have seen it. It has a registration ending in WUG. Please do not approach if you do see this vehicle but call 999 immediately.”
