A TEENAGE gunman burst into a shop and opened fire as ‘gang rivalry’ spilled out into the streets of Stockport.
Jacob Richards, then just 15, fired a gun three times in a shop in CheadleHulme, before shooting at a passing delivery driver who happened to witness his escape. No-one was hurt.
Richards, now 18, has been hauled before a court for an extraordinary catalogue of crimes.
Despite his tender age, prosecutors claimed he had become ‘firmly entrenched in a culture of gangs and guns’.
He ‘bragged’ about his crimes in raps, also captured on calls recorded from jail, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Prosecutors told how the shooting occurred at DA Shop on Worcester Road in the summer of 2021. Richards and another man, Remico Embrack, 20, both went into the convenience store armed with guns.
Embrack pointed his weapon towards two members of staff, the shop owner and an assistant. A third person, a customer, was also present at the time.
The shop owner threw himself and his colleague to the floor behind the counter, pressing the panic alarm which let off smoke. Embrack left but Richards followed in and fired three times towards the counter. As he fled, Richards locked eyes with a delivery driver passing the terrifying scene in his car. “What?!,” Richards shouted, before pointing his gun at the car and firing it again.
