Levi McCandlish, 27, and Joshua Giles, 21, have been jailed for fifteen years, eight months and thirteen-and-a-half years, respectively, after pleading guilty to Section 18 grievous bodily harm and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. In November 2021, a man suffered life-changing injuries when he was shot in the face with an improvised firearm, known as a slam gun, in an alleyway in Morecambe, Lancashire. A car, owned by a relative of McCandlish and seen in the area, was later found by police. It contained a face covering and receipts and tags for balaclavas and gloves. CCTV footage revealed McCandlish and Giles buying the items, as well as a crowbar, in a shop near the location of the attack. No motive for the shooting has ever been uncovered.
