A nan told a 999 operator "this just isn't on" as a gunman opened fire in her street.
Edward Dutton, Anthony Jones, Nathan Kelly and James Quinn travelled together in convoy to the scene in Dingle in a hired Mercedes and on two motorcycles, before firing three shots with a pistol while children played nearby. They then sped off through residential roads, but their plot unravelled when one of the bikers smashed into a car and broke his ankle.
Liverpool Crown Court heard this week that police received reports of shots being fired on Erin Close shortly before 8.15pm on July 24 2019. A nan who dialled 999 stated that she had "heard bangs" while out in her garden with her daughter and grandchildren and that "other people were out in the street", adding: "This just isn't on."
