A Lanarkshire thug shot in a gangland attack has walked free from court after thumping his girlfriend.
Marc McDermott hit Cheryl Fraser in a drunken Hogmanay row when their relationship turned "toxic" around the time of the shooting.
The 30-year-old was hit in the back and backside when he was confronted by three masked men in Cumbernauld in January 2020. An innocent dog walker was injured and her pet killed by a stray bullet, the Daily Record reports.
