Two boys age 17 and 18, and a 20-year-old man were later arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Information from the community was vital in securing the arrests, said detectives, who branded the shooting “a targeted incident” and unrelated to any other recent gunfire in Salford.
Police later raided a house on Mossbrook Drive in connection with that attack, arresting a 19-year-old and 20-year-old man on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
All five were released on police bail to reappear on 9 October 2015.
Officers have not linked the two sets of attacks and enquiries are ongoing.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Greater Manchester Police on 101.
