A MAN has been charged in connection with a shooting incident in Basingstoke last Tuesday.

Daniel Wallace, of Palatine Road, London, has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and kidnap.

The 23-year-old was due to appear before Basingstoke Magistrates Court this morning.

The drama unfolded after Hampshire Constabulary received reports at 8.30pm on Tuesday of an argument taking place between three men in a three-storey block of flats, in Britannia Drive, Beggarwood.

Detectives from Basingstoke CID said an 18-year-old man who lives in the area was threatened by two men.

But the two men then ran off and as they left fired two shots from a handgun. No one was injured.

Two 21-year-old men from London and a 22-year-old woman from Buckinghamshire have been arrested and bailed in connection with the incident.
