Gunman fires nine bullets through house in Leicestershire shooting

Summarised from Leicestershire Live's report · Updated 5 Nov, 18:17 · Archive

A gunman fired nine bullets through a house in Glen Parva, Leicestershire, with a man, woman and 10-year-old child inside.

A gunman wearing a helmet walked up to a house in Hewes Close, Glen Parva, and fired nine bullets through the door and window on 6 March at 8.38pm. A man, a woman and a 10-year-old child were inside the home. Leicestershire Live reports it is a 'miracle' that the bullets missed all three occupants.

Four men from the Liverpool area are on trial at Leicester Crown Court, jointly accused of conspiracy to murder. Two men went to the property; one is named as Liam Goldson and the other has not been found. Aaron Flusk, Corbin Doyle and Sam Comer are also accused of being involved in the conspiracy. The prosecution told the jury that a stolen blue Kia Nero and a white Seat Leon travelled south from Liverpool, with the Kia going to the address where the shooting took place. The Kia was later set alight in Fulbrook Lane near Warwick, while the Seat returned to Merseyside. Phone records, ANPR camera footage and CCTV were used to track the movements of the cars and men. The court also heard that Doyle's computer had been seized and contained searches for his co-defendants and visits to news sites about the shooting.
