Gomm was one of two men seen shooting down at shoppers. Another witness had the gun pointed at her, and ran to a nearby restaurant to hide before phoning the police. “She thought [the guns] were real,” prosecutor Simon Gledhill said. The court heard that the same witness saw that Gomm, 19 of Foundry Lane, “appeared to be enjoying causing fear” to those in panic below, along with another man who was also shooting pellets from the same weapon at shoppers. Defending Jamie Gammon confirmed that the second man, 22-year-old Aaron Vas of Derby Road, had fled to India since being charged last September. A warrant is still outstanding for his arrest.
