Of the three arrests that were made that week, Douglas Price, 37, of Valley Farm, was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. He is due at Bradford Crown Court on March 25.
A 17-year-old male and a 20-year-old male were bailed pending further enquiries.
In the early hours of this morning, armed officers attended an address in Leeds and arrested another four males and a woman.
Officers also searched another address in the Hunslet area as part of the operation.
