The charges are linked to an incident in Clarkson Street at around 7.30pm on Sunday night when a gun was fired at a car.

A police spokeswoman said nobody had been injured.

The accused men, both from London, were brought before Kirklees Magistrates’ Court this morning.

Both are charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Lennon, 39, of Queenstown Road, London, is charged with two further offences of possessing a firearm.

Beaumont, 44, of no fixed abode, is also charged with possession of a firearm without a certificate and possession of a firearm.

The pair, who did not enter pleas, were remanded into custody and will appear at Leeds Crown Court next Wednesday.
