Drug boss, 16, led crew to carry out three shootings on rival gangs as feud explodes

A 16-year-old boy led a mob of teenage thugs in three shootings and a terrifying arson attack. Harry O'Brien controlled a 'graft' line and a crew of dealers selling cannabis on the streets.

But his trade was exposed after a feud led to three shootings in three weeks. One attack saw bullets fired from an Audi at a BMW, as the two cars raced side-by-side at night.

A stray bullet flew through the front door of an entirely innocent family home and landed on the hallway stairs. In another attack, a gunman on an electric bike peppered a family's living room with bullets and fired into another victim's bedroom, the Liverpool Echo has reported.
