Woman in court after police officer shot in city
Press AssociationA woman has appeared in court in connection with the shooting of a police officer in Nottingham city centre.
The officer - who is in a stable condition in hospital and named in court as PC Lee Lane - was shot in the foot after approaching two people at a bus stop in Angel Row at about 04:50 BST on Sunday.
Aisha Zaman has been charged with possession of a prohibited firearm - which magistrates heard was an adapted shotgun - and possession of that firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.
The 27-year-old, of Collison Street in Hyson Green, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Friday, and is next set to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 20 November.
Zaman was remanded into custody ahead of her next court appearance.
The court heard the injured officer has since had "several surgeries" following the shooting.
On Thursday, Nottinghamshire Police confirmed six other people had been arrested in connection with their investigation, with officers "still following a number of lines of inquiry".
