Man charged with attempted murder in connection with Wolverhampton drive-by shooting which injured three women

Three women required hospital treatment after the shooting in Frederick Street, Wolverhampton, on Friday, September 27, last year. 

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We have charged a man in connection with a shooting in Wolverhampton.

"Shaun Andrews, 23, has been charged with three offences of attempted murder, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life."

Andrews was arrested in Manchester on Friday and transported to Wolverhampton for questioning this weekend. 

The police spokesman added: "Following the incident on Friday, September 27, last year, three women were taken to hospital with gunshot injuries, and have since been released.

"The 23-year-old has been remanded in custody to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates court tomorrow (Monday)."

In October last year DeShaun White, 23, of Westacre Crescent, was charged with attempted murder and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, concerning the same incident. 

White pleaded not guilty to the charges at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court and awaits trial.

West Midlands Police launched a major investigation after the shooting, which was on the same street as music venue KK's Steel Mill.

A police spokesman said in the days after the shooting: "

"We received reports of shots being fired from a car on Frederick Street at around 11pm. Three women were taken to hospital. Two women have since been discharged. A third woman remains in hospital in a stable condition. We are carrying out a CCTV trawl - and other enquiries - to identify those involved.

"We're working to establish why this happened and we'd ask anyone with information to speak to us. Such violence is unacceptable and won't be tolerated. We will have an increased presence in the area to reassure the local community."
