Scouser shot in LA says: "It could have been worse"

A Liverpool man shot in the back while on holiday in America was saved after police officers performed CPR as he lay bleeding out on the street.

Shaun Byrne, 35, has spoken out after his brush with death in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, when a brief altercation at a busy bar nearly ended in tragedy. Yesterday the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) issued a wanted appeal for suspected gunman Brandon Manyo Dixon after the incident, which saw both Shaun, from Old Swan, and another man from the Birmingham area wounded on Saturday, July 30.

Shaun says he can remember nothing of the incident until he awoke in the Ronald Reagan UCLA hospital after emergency surgery. It was only when doctors explained that he released how close he came to losing his life.
