Man shot at house with eight-year-old boy inside as a 'frightener'

A man with links to organised crime fired at the front door of a family home with an eight-year-old child inside as “frightener”, a court was told.

John Bromilow, described by police as a 'dangerous individual', was one of five people charged in connection with a shooting in Wallasey in 2021. The 28-year-old, of Whetstone Lane, Birkenhead, Paul Price, 43, of no fixed abode, Chantae Campbell, 21, of Bridge Street, Birkenhead, Teigan Dutton, of Alexandra Road, Birkenhead, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday to be sentenced.

Bromilow was jailed for six years and three months, Price for five years and 10 months while Campbell and Dutton were both sentenced to 15 months each. A fifth defendant, Mark Sands, of Briardale Road, Oxton, failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
