A 25-year-old man has been jailed for more than eight years over a terrifying street shooting in Bradford last April. Mohammed Kamal, from Girlington Road, pleaded guilty to section 18 wounding and possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Life-Changing Injuries After Violent Altercation
The shocking incident unfolded on 19 April following a heated verbal dispute between several men on Oak Lane. A 22-year-old victim was left with life-changing injuries after Kamal opened fire.
Justice Served at Bradford Crown Court
Today, Kamal was handed an eight-year and two-month sentence at Bradford Crown Court for his role in the shooting.
Detective Inspector Suzanne Hall from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team said:
“We welcome the sentence of Kamal today. Firearms have no place in society and we take offending of this nature extremely seriously.
The use of a firearm could have had fatal consequences; the victim is lucky to be alive.
Anyone caught using a firearm will be dealt with robustly by the courts.”
