Man Arrested Over Shop Worker Shooting

A second man has been arrested in connection to the death of a shop worker who was shot six times in Greater Manchester.

Nasar Hussain, 30, died from wounds to his chest and stomach after he was shot at Brookhouse Wines in Salford on 4 July.

A 26-year-old man was arrested by Greater Manchester Police on Thursday. A 22-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Police and paramedics treated Mr Hussain at the shop, before he was taken to hospital, where he died.

The Pakistani national - known locally as Nasar Shazad - had lived in Salford for about six months.

Earlier this month, Ryan Manning, 20, of Higher Ince, was charged with Mr Hussain's murder. He was remanded in custody until 28 September.

A further 11 people who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy of murder are currently on police bail.
