POLICE are appealing for information after a man was shot in the leg.
Armed response officers were sent out to the Larkdale Street area on the edge of the Arboretum after reports of a gun being fired at about 7.50pm last night, 4 March 2011.
Following the incident, a 23-year-old Bulwell man was admitted to the Queen's Medical Centre with a wound to his leg. He remains in a stable condition.
Notts Police said his injuries were believed to have been caused by a gun but were not life threatening.
A cordon was put in place last in Larkdale Street at its junctions with Forest Road West and Tennyson Street, as well as Burns Street at the junction with Wildman Street.
This was lifted at about 10am today.
Student Rachel Littlechild, 22, who lives in a shared house in Wildman Street, said: "The guy who lives on the top floor said he thought he heard a gun shot.
"But I didn't hear anything. It really scares me. It seems like crime has been increasing around here which is a bit worrying."
David Bothwell, of Larkdale Street, said he spoke to a police officer after the area was cordoned off.
"They said no one was killed so that would lead me to believe someone was injured," said the 28-year-old student.
"Nottingham has quite a bad reputation but round here it is relatively quiet so I was quite surprised. It happens unfortunately."
Jeremiah Mtotela, 22, of Larkdale Street, said: "When I came home from work at about 10pm I saw the road was closed.
"It is scary. I have only started living here three months ago."
Officers were today carrying out house to house enquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Notts Police on 0300 300 9999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

MAY 2010. Man jailed for killing Nottingham partygoer.
A hairdresser who stabbed a man to death at a house party in Nottingham has been jailed for eight years.
Robert Mather, 23, was convicted of the manslaughter of Stuart Lownds and cleared of his murder at Nottingham Crown Court.
Mather stabbed the 18-year-old with a sword after partygoers refused to leave his house in Gainsford Crescent, Bestwood Estate, in June 2009.
Mr Lownds had intervened in a fight between Mather and another guest.
Judge Michael Stokes QC told Mather that his violence had led to the needless death of an innocent man.
He said: "For a mum to lose her 18-year-old son in this way must be literally unbearable and the tragedy of that night last year is that there was no reason for this to happen at all."

JAN 2010. Peter Brown is charged with killing both Brian Flaherty, of Derby Grove, Lenton, and Darran Lancashire, of Main Street, Kimberley.
Killed: Darran Lancashire, of Main Street, Kimberley.
By Sarah Firth
A DOUBLE-MURDER suspect claimed one of his alleged victims had "gone to a party" when friends asked about his whereabouts, a court heard.
Peter Brown is charged with killing both Brian Flaherty, of Derby Grove, Lenton, and Darran Lancashire, of Main Street, Kimberley.
At Nottingham Crown Court yesterday Christopher Trueman, a friend of Brian Flaherty, said he had last seen Mr Flaherty on January 9 this year.
He said he and a friend had left Brown, 41, and Mr Flaherty in Mr Flaherty's bedroom between noon and 12.30pm.
Mr Trueman said he and the friend had then gone into Nottingham to collect the friend's methadone. When they returned around 2.30pm they found Brown alone in the room, the court heard.
Mr Trueman said: "I said hello to him and I asked him where he [Brian] was, and he said Brian had met some girls from Scotland and gone to a party."
Mr Trueman claimed he had slept in the kitchen that night and been woken by Brown at around 1.30am to 2am when he came down to use the washing machine.
He said he found a pair of trainers inside the machine in the morning.
The court heard Mr Trueman had overdosed on heroin and alcohol the day before. When he gave a statement to police three weeks later he did not mention Brown using the washing machine. Mr Trueman denied claims from Mr Brown's defence that he was now lying, and said his memory had become clearer after spending time in rehab.
Pathologist Professor Guy Rutty told the court Mr Flaherty died as a result of stab wound up to 10cm deep to his heart.
He said methadone and morphine levels in his body were a contributory factor, and Mr Flaherty was already dead when a cord was tied around his neck.
Brown, of Main Street, Kimberley, denies the murder of Mr Flaherty, 31, between January 8 and January 13 this year, and of Darran Lancashire, 43, between December 27 last year and January 7.
