A SUSPECT is still being sought in relation to a shooting in Haslingden.
Detectives are hunting Raheel Khan, 26, who was originally arrested in relation to the Beaconsfield Street incident.
He was released under investigation but has now disappeared, according to investigators,
Det Chief Insp Zoe Russo said: "We continue to seek any information in relation to Raheel Khan’s whereabouts. If you know where he is, please get in touch."
Three children were also in the house in Haslingden, when the shot was fired, but luckily they escaped unharmed.
Shabir Begum only received minor injuries as a result of the Accrington shooting but police have recognised the unease which the shotgun attacks generated in the early summer of 2017.

DCI Russo added: "These were shocking, premeditated attacks which understandably caused fear and alarm in the local communities.
“One woman suffered minor injuries as a result of one of the shootings. But in reality this could have been much more serious.
"It is only a matter of luck that she was not seriously hurt or even killed.
"Gun crime has no place in Lancashire."
