Two gangland shootings happened in Salford and Bury within months of each other with the same gunman pulling the trigger
A gunman opened fire at a home and a taxi office to send a 'powerful message', a court heard. .
The occupiers of the house in Whitefield were upstairs at the time. Manchester Crown Court heard that the shootings were ordered by others. Judge Nicholas Dean KC said of the taxi rank incident: "It could easily have struck an individual." Gray, 26, rushed to a getaway car which contained another man, 29-year-old Dominic Hughes. As the men fled the driver of the car was involved in a serious head on collision with a taxi driver, which left him hospitalised.
The residents who lived there only realised what had happened the following morning. An ex-boyfriend of a resident who lived at the property had been arrested months earlier in connection with drugs and firearms offences, the court has heard.

Brain structural co-development is associated with internalizing symptoms two years later in the ABCD cohortAbstract Background and aims About 1/3 of youth spend more than four hours/day engaged in screen media activity (SMA). This investigation utilized longitudinal brain imaging and mediation analyses to examine relationships among SMA, brain patterns, and internalizing problems. Methods Data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) participants with baseline and two-year follow-up structural imaging data that passed quality control (N=5,166; 2,385 girls) were analyzed. Joint and Individual Variation Explained (JIVE) identified a brain co-development pattern among 221 brain features (i.e., differences in surface area, thickness, or cortical and subcortical gray-matter volume between baseline and two-year-follow-up data). Generalized linear mixed-effect models investigated associations between baseline SMA, structural co-development and internalizing and externalizing psychopathology at two-year follow-up. Results SMA at baseline was related to internalizing psychopathology at year 2 ( β=0.020,SE=0.008,P=0.014) and a structural co-development pattern ( β=0.015,SE=0.007,P=0.029), where the co-development pattern suggested that rates of change in gray-matter volumes of the brainstem, gray-matter volumes and/or cortical thickness measures of bilateral superior frontal, rostral middle frontal, inferior parietal, and inferior temporal regions were more similar than those in other regions. This component partially mediated the relationship between baseline SMA and future internalizing problems (indirect effect=0.020, P-value=0.043, proportion mediated: 2.24%). Discussion and conclusions Greater youth engagement in SMA at ages 9–10 years statistically predicted higher levels of internalizing two years later. This association was mediated by cortical-brainstem circuitry, albeit with relatively small effect sizes. The findings may help delineate processes contributing to internalizing behaviors and assist in identifying individuals at greater risk for such problems.
