MAN FIRED SHOTS AT LIVING ROOM AND BEDROOM WINDOWS OF OLDBURY HOME
A HOODED Birmingham man who fired shots at a residential property in the West Midlands is facing prison for his “dangerous” actions.
Asaan Hussain, 30, was caught on CCTV firing two shots at a living room and bedroom of a house in Oldbury on February 17.
His shocking planned attack was assisted by Sima Khan, 31, also from Birmingham.
The pair were convicted following a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court and will now be sentenced on October 31.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said it was “miraculous” that nobody was injured in the coordinated attack.
“In the early hours of 17 February, a black Hyundai drove on Vicarage Street multiple times before coming to a stop outside an address,’ the spokesman said.
