A MAN has been charged in connection with the shooting of a man in Southampton.

Calvin Angelo Lawrence, 25, from Peckham, London, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and for being in possession of a firearm with intent to cause a person to believe that unlawful violence would be used.

It comes five days after a 27-year-old man was shot in the leg in Vanguard Road.

He is still in Southampton General Hospital where his condition is described as “stable”.

Lawrence is due to appear before Southampton Magistrates tomorrow.
