Two thugs who shot a man in a murder bid posed with the gun on social media.

John McCann, 35, and Anton Brannigan, 30, struck Robert 'Boab' Spence on the head as he sat in a van outside a shop in Glasgow's Tollcross on January 12, 2021. The pellets from the one shot that was fired also hit Gary Milne who was sat beside Mr Spence.

McCann and Brannigan had posted themselves on TikTok with the firearm and a machete hours before the shooting. The callous pair later fled to England and recorded themselves singing gangster rap songs in the getaway car.

Bannigan and McCann were seen making gun symbols with the latter singing "bang bang." The two men told a jury that they had never known or met their victims.

However, the pair were convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of the attempted murder of Mr Spence and Mr Milne.

Scots doctor suspended for attacking paramedics despite being given a second chance just three years ago

A Scots doctor has been suspended for a year by a medical watchdog after attacking paramedics, despite being given a second chance at her career following a catalogue of alcohol-fuelled meltdowns. Haematology expert Dr Roisin Hamilton, of Glasgow, has been deemed unfit to practise just three years after she promised a disciplinary tribunal she'd learned her lesson.

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) has ruled that her fitness to practise has been impaired after it came to light that Dr Hamilton was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court of attacking paramedics in July 2020, as well as as a drink driving conviction in Northern Ireland in October 2021, where she also resisted arrest.

She had previously been reprimanded by the watchdog following assaults, which included throwing hot coffee at staff in Glasgow Airport and biting a police officer's finger.

Angry mob descend on Scots street chanting 'beast' as riot cops remove man from flat

Police officers removed a man from a property in Kirkcaldy after an angry mob gathered outside in protest against an alleged paedophile. Officers armed with riot shields were called to Links Street at around 7.55pm on Monday, 17 October, amid reports that a large crowd had gathered.

Footage from the scene shows furious crowds chanting "beast" and "get him out" as a female police officer stands guard at the entrance to a block of flats. A police van can be seen backing closer to the entrance as the baying mob continue to shout and jeer.

Six police officers stood outside the block of flats to manage the crowd as four officers entered. Two male officers, armed with riot shields then led a hooded man from the property and past the crowd into the awaiting van.
