A 24-year-old man has been charged following reports a firearm was discharged in Old Basford last week.
Officers were called to Overdale Road at 3.15pm on Tuesday (April 11) after people nearby called saying they had a gun being fired during the incident.
Police said a 22-year-old man suffered a minor injury but did not require hospital treatment.
Leon McGuire from Overdale Road in Old Basford has now been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence as well as affray.
Police cordoned off Overdale Road and part of Thorndale Road, and officers were seen searching in wheelie bins.
People living in houses inside the cordon were being signed in and out of the scene by officers.
Others living nearby said they surprised at what had happened in a street not known for trouble.
Laura Dzirvinskis, who lives around the corner, said: “The first me and my mum heard was when the police came round, I was oblivious. It’s not had much impact on us today as obviously we didnt know it had happened.”
Another nearby resident, Albert Barber, said: “I didn’t hear a thing myself but I do think it’s unusual. It’s pretty quiet and no trouble around here usually.”
Another man who asked not to be named said: “I missed it but my next door neighbour said he had heard the noise. The first thing I noticed was police vans pulling up just after 5pm.”
Overdale Road is a street of semi-detached houses close to Stockhill Lane and Stockhill Fire Station.
