A man who shot an eight-year-old boy with a BB gun avoided jail.
Anthony Gilhooly, 38, struck the once on the back at his home in Govan.
A jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court watched a recorded police interview which the boy gave to the police.
He told an officer that he was alone with Gilhooly in his bedroom when he was shot between August and July 2020.
He stated Gilhooly brought out a red handgun and shot him once on the back.
The boy was asked what his reaction was and he said: "I just kept saying ow."
He added that the shot left him with a "little red circle mark."
The boy claimed the gun was then put in the bin and Gilhooly apologised.
Gilhooly was found guilty of the charge of assaulting the boy after trial.
He was cleared of further charges which included shooting a nine-year-old boy with a BB gun.
Sheriff Tom Hughes put Gilhooly, of Govan, under supervision for one year.
