The incident took place last week in the Kirklees area, and officers moved quickly to bring charges against a suspect. The man is now set to appear in court to face the firearms charge.
West Yorkshire Police have not yet released full details about the circumstances of the shooting, but the fact that a charge has been brought suggests investigators have gathered enough evidence to pursue a prosecution.
Shooting incidents in towns like Huddersfield remain a serious concern for local communities, and police in West Yorkshire have been stepping up efforts to tackle gun crime across the region in recent years.
The case will now move through the court system, where the accused will have the chance to respond to the charge against him. Further details about the court date and the specific nature of the offence are expected to be made public as the case progresses.
