A man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after two children suffered gunshot wounds in Wolverhampton.

Kian Durnin, 22, from Wolverhampton, will appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

A boy aged 15 and a girl aged 11 were each shot in a leg in Shelley Road, Bushbury, at about 3pm on May 1 but are expected to make a full recovery.

Durnin was also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and aggravated vehicle-taking.

Two other men, aged 21 and 25, were arrested last week and have been bailed with strict conditions.
