Man bangs on door of house and begs them to 'ring an ambo' after being shot

A man banged on the door of a house and begged the occupant to "ring an ambo" after being shot in the leg.

The shootings of Curtis Byrne and Kieran Cowley were one of a series of events which led up to the murder of Elle Edwards, Liverpool Crown Court has heard. Jurors in the trial of Connor Chapman - who is alleged to have been the gunman who shot and killed the beautician outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, Wirral, on Christmas Eve - were today told further details of incidents which are said to have formed part of a violent feud which had been ongoing between rival groups from the Woodchurch and Beechwood estates.

Reading a series of agreed facts to the jury of seven women and five men, prosecution junior Katy Appleton described the shootings of both men. She said that Merseyside Police had received reports of gunshots being fired on Newark Close in Noctorum shortly before 9.15pm on December 18 and an injured man, Cowley, crashing into a house.
