Man Charged with Attempted Murder in Speedwell Shooting

On April 3rd, a 24-year-old man from Speedwell faces serious charges after a gun went off in

his neighborhood earlier this week.

William Scamal got hit with attempted murder and possession of a shortened shotgun following

the shooting.

It all kicked off around 1.50 pm on Wednesday, April 1st, when shots rang out at a car

on Speedwell Road.

The victim, a guy in his 20s, ended up with serious injuries and he's still recovering

in the hospital.

These are calling it a shocking event, but they're on it full force as a top priority

case.

Senior Officer Detective Chief Inspector Jess Aston says, neighborhood teams are outdoing

high visibility patrols to calm folks down and answer any worries.

Meanwhile, cops grabbed a man and a woman, both in their 20s, on suspicion of helping

the offender.

Though they've been cut loose on bail for, now Scamal has the Bristol Magistrate's

court tomorrow, Saturday, April 4th, while police keep backing the victim and his family

through the ongoing probe.
