Three men who launched a gun, machete and knife attack on another man outside a Leeds nightclub have been jailed for a total of 52 years.
The victim, a 42-year-old man, was attacked outside the Nite Trax club, in Chapeltown Road, shortly before 1.00am on Monday, 29 August, last year while the area was busy with people celebrating the Leeds West Indian Carnival weekend.
The victim received a gunshot wound to the chest after a sawn-off shotgun was fired at him from just a few feet away. He also received knife wounds and had to undergo surgery.
Shaquille Liddie, aged 24, from Leeds, was identified as having been the gunman and pleaded guilty to attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was jailed for 14 years.
Kemar Ricketts, aged 29, and Seion Allen, aged 33, both from Leeds, were found guilty of attempted murder following a trial last week.
They were each sentenced to 19 years imprisonment at Leeds Crown Court yesterday, 20 November.
