A Margate man shot in Canterbury last week is slowly on the mend following an operation at King’s College Hospital in London.
Former Hartsdown pupil Danny Mobey suffered a fractured pelvis and a punctured kidney after he was shot in Godwin Road on Thursday (July 19).
Following the shooting, he managed to get as far as Oxford Road in Wincheap where he was picked up by an ambulance and taken to King’s College Hospital in London. He has since undergone an operation and is now recovering.

Danny has been inundated with messages of support from friends and family and has been receiving visitors in hospital.
