Oldham shooting: Man charged with attempted murder as firearm recovered

A man has been charged with attempted murder following a firearms incident on Shaw Road in Oldham last Thursday. Ethan Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere, 23, faces two counts of attempted murder, section 18 assault, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

The victim, an 18-year-old man, remains hospitalized in stable condition with serious injuries. Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere, who has no fixed address, was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at Manchester & Salford Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

Seven other males arrested in connection with the shooting have been bailed pending further investigation. The group includes three juveniles, an 18-year-old, a 19-year-old, a man in his 20s, and a man in his 40s. Police recovered a firearm that is currently being analyzed by specialist officers.

Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley of the Major Incident Team stated: “Our investigation has been meticulous since the incident happened on Thursday, which has now led to us charging one of the eight males we arrested over the weekend. Whilst most firearms incidents are targeted and do not pose a threat to the wider public, we know the fear and anxiety these incidents cause amongst our communities. We have seized at total of 304 firearms since 2021, underlining our ongoing commitment to rid the streets of these weapons, ensuring those who live and work in Greater Manchester feel safe.”

Anyone with information about the incident should contact police on 101 quoting log 1281 of 16/01/2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
