A man will face court today over the alleged shooting of a man in the state’s Northern Tablelands.

Yesterday morning (Wednesday 16 March 2016), a 23-year-old man attended Armidale Hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound to his leg.

He’s since been transferred to John Hunter Hospital, where he remains in a stable condition.

Officers attached to New England Local Area Command were alerted and launched an investigation into the incident.

After initial inquiries, police attended a home in Cookes Road, Armidale, about 4am.

They established a crime scene at the home, which was examined by detectives and forensic specialists.

Following further investigations, a 23-year-old man was arrested at Armidale Police Station about 7.30pm, and charged with fire firearm in a manner likely to injure person, and recklessly cause grievous bodily harm.

He was refused bail to appear before Armidale Local Court today (Thursday 17 March 2016).
