Police are following strong lines of enquiry following a shooting in Woolston, Christchurch last night. 
 
A 29-year-old man was shot once in the shoulder at around 8.20pm, near the intersection of Radley Street and Ferry Road.  
 
He remains in hospital today, in a serious but stable condition. 
 
The offender was travelling in a vehicle and left the scene immediately following the shooting.
