A police officer has been shot in Nottingham city centre.
The officer, who is in hospital with a foot wound, had approached two suspects in Angel Row shortly before the incident at 4.50am on Sunday, Nottinghamshire Police said.
The two suspects, a man and a woman, fled the scene and a firearm was recovered by police.
Asst Chief Constable Claire Rukas said: “This is a shocking incident and a sobering reminder of the potential dangers faced by officers as they work to protect and serve the public.
“As we investigate what happened and work to apprehend the individuals involved, my thoughts today are with the injured officer, his family and colleagues.

“I also ask that anyone with additional information shares this with us without delay. Even the smallest bit of information could make all the difference to this investigation.”
Nadia Whittome, the Labour MP for Nottingham East, wrote on X: “My thoughts are with the injured police officer and his family following this truly shocking incident. We all wish him a full and speedy recovery.”
The Police Federation of England and Wales also sent its best wishes to the officer.
“This is a stark reminder of the dangers police officers face every day while protecting the public,” it added in a social media post. “Their courage and commitment must never be taken for granted.”
