A Lanarkshire man who kicked a woman's dog before shooting at her and four children with a paintball gun won't be going to jail for his crimes.
Paul Ritchie fired at Emma Davis and the children from his garden in Dolphinton, Lanarkshire, after kicking her dog, in October 2020. Frightened Emma thought the weapon was real when shots were fired.
The 37-year-old served a one-year prison sentence the following year for sending death-threat emails to MPs, including former House of Commons speaker John Bercow, ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the SNP’s Ian Blackford.
