Two teenagers have been charged with the shooting of a 17-year-old youth in a park in Greater Manchester.

He needed to have emergency surgery following the shooting and remains in hospital where his condition is described as comfortable.

Neville Paul, 18, from Warrington, Cheshire and a 15-year-old boy from Stretford who cannot be named for legal reasons have both been charged with conspiracy to murder, while the 15-year-old has also been charged with robbery.

Both teenagers are due to appear before Trafford Magistrates on Friday.
