Detectives have arrested two men on suspicion of shooting a man in Brighton last week.
Sussex Police said: “Two men have been arrested by detectives investigating a shooting in Elmore Road, Brighton, last month.
“A 39-year-old man living in a flat in Elmore Road, Brighton, suffered shotgun wounds at 11.25pm on Tuesday 27 January.
“Three men who went to his address fired a single shot through the door which hit him but did not cause life-threatening injuries.
“The victim was taken by ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, where he was treated for his injuries.
“Armed officers were deployed but the suspects had fled.
