All suspects bailed over Easton shooting
A teenager has been release on bail along with two other people arrested over a shooting in Easton over the weekend.
The 17-year old, who was held for an extra 12 hours for questioning after police obtained an extension from a judge, was released on bail on Tuesday.
A 29-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy also arrested over the shooting were bailed on Monday.
All three were arrested on Saturday night on suspicion of attempted murder after a 34-year-old man was shot once in the shoulder in All Hallows Road, at about 2am on Saturday.
Police have now recovered the red Peugeot 206 they were trying to trace in connection with the incident which is now undergoing a full forensic examination. It was found in the Montpelier area of Bristol.
