A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named, denies attempted murder and four other charges at Ipswich Crown Court.The over-and-under Beretta, found on the vehicle's rear seat, had a spent cartridge in the top barrel and a live cartridge in the bottom barrel.Jurors have heard the wounded boy was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, where he was left with "devastating and life-changing injuries" after suffering a stroke and had been "partially paralysed".

Piers Morgan blasts England football fans for booing 'The players should walk off!'PIERS MORGAN has taken to social media, admitting he is 'disgusted' to hear football fans booing the national team during last night's pre Euros 2020 friendly. Those booing are not true fans and should be banned But Social pressure must not be allowed to force players to take the knee if they do not want to for fear of intimidation and backlash Not everyone supports the ‘Black Panther ‘ like raised fists Not sure if the Austrians took the knee for the 6 million Jews murdered by an Austrian. If that's the case they will be down for eternity. No place for this in sport. All lives matter You are as thick as those players.
