THREE men have been arrested and an air rifle recovered after a woman was shot in the neck.
The 31-year-old was walking back to her car in Bolton Road, close to the junction with Fairy Street, at 7.30pm on Monday, when she was hit.
She was taken to hospital, where a pellet was removed from the right side of her neck.
A 21-year-old man from Heywood and two 19-year-olds from Bury were arrested on suspicion of wounding and have been bailed until January 2008.
