A BIRMINGHAM gang plotted a horrific shooting which saw a dad blasted on his doorstep in broad daylight.

Nadeem Khan had just returned home from the school run and was making a phone call from inside his BMW when a gunman opened fire from the back of a Toyota C-HR.

After blowing the windows of BMW out, the gunman exited the Toyota and continued to fire at the victim with the double-barrelled shotgun before fleeing with his accomplices.

The shocking shooting took place at about 9am in Charles Foster Street, Darlaston, on October 11 last year.

Members of the public were left so frightened by the ordeal that one school is said to have even 'cancelled a church trip, keeping children inside on safety grounds.

Dad Mr Khan, who is in his 40s, was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham with wounds to his face, hands and lower part of his body.

On Thursday, five men, all from Birmingham, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court in connection with the shooting.

It is understood that the gunman remains at large.

The five defendants previously admitted conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent and conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life on the second day of their trial in July.
