POLICE are examining bullet casings found at the scene of a shooting in Bolton.
A 20-year-old man was shot with what is believed to be a handgun following a brawl in Chorley Old Road at 4.15pm on Tuesday.
The gun has not yet been found and no arrests have been made.
The victim is still in hospital but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
