Two men have been arrested over the shooting of a man in his home in Brighton.

A 39-year-old man living in a flat in Elmore Road, Brighton, suffered shotgun wounds at 11.25pm on Tuesday 27 January.
 
Three men who went to his address fired a single shot through the door which hit him but did not cause life-threatening injuries.

The victim was taken by ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, where he was treated for his injuries. Armed officers were deployed but the suspects had fled.

Detectives believe the attack was targeted.

However it was later revealed that the victim had been shot by mistake.

On Monday Sussex Police offered a £5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the gunman.
 
Today a 31-year-old man from Hove was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 24-year-old man from Brighton has been detained on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
 
They are both currently in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Rymarz, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are still keen to hear from anyone who may have information about this incident or any suspicious vehicles, people or activity in the Elmore Road area late on Tuesday 27 January.

"We are offering a reward of £5,000 for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the those responsible."
