South Shields pair guilty of having shotgun with intent to endanger life after mum's home blasted

Two men are facing lengthy prison sentences after they were found guilty over a shooting at a mum's house.

Aaron Giles and Kevin Chapman were cleared of conspiracy to murder but convicted of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life after a third man blasted a shotgun at the home in South Shields. Jurors were told Giles had fallen out with Ryan Carr and he was inside his girlfriend, Sharna Hadaway's home, along with her and her toddler when the shocking attack happened.

Two shots were fire at the front door by the unidentified, masked gunman, causing the whole house to shake. Now Giles and taxi driver Chapman have been warned they will receive "double figure" jail sentences.
