Police said inquiries were continuing into the incident that saw an area around Carver's Lane in Attleborough sealed off on January 10.
A man in his 20s was arrested for grievous bodily harm and possession of a firearm and had initially been released on bail until February 4.
His bail subsequently extended to April 6 but police said he had now been released while investigations continue.
Town councillor Tony Crouch, who lives on Carver's Lane and who also served as mayor of the town from 2019 to 2020, was shot in the arm with an air rifle.
The gun used, which officers previously said could be linked to previous incidents in the town, has still not been recovered, police confirmed.
The shooting shocked and baffled neighbours on the quiet rural road on the edge of the town close to the A11.
