Leeds man brought back from USA to face firearm charge after Halifax shooting
A Leeds man will appear in court tomorrow after a shooting in Halifax.
The 26-year-old was in custody in America but has been brought back to the UK today.
He has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life after a firearm was used to cause damage to a property in Lister Lane in Halifax in January 2023.
Police say the man has been in custody in the USA in connection with separate incidents overseas.
He was brought back to the UK today where he was charged and remanded to appear before Leeds magistrates.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said the force is “grateful to the National Crime Agency and the Crown Prosecution Service for their invaluable assistance in this matter”.
