THREE men have been found guilty after a man was shot in Solihull.
During the attack, last January a 23-year-old was shot in the arm on Oak Croft.
He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
In the days after the three men were arrested by West Midlands Police and subsequently charged with the attack.
Birmingham Crown Court found J’Jay Lawlor, from Stratford Road, Solihull, guilty of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
The 19-year-old previously pleaded guilty to attempted robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
James Sheriff, 47, of Masons Way, Solihull, was found guilty of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and attempted robbery.
Carl Gamble, 29, of no fixed address, was found guilty of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and attempted robbery.
All three men will be sentenced in July.
DC Zac Green, from the force’s Major Crime Unit, said: “This was a nonsensical violent attack in the middle of a street where the consequences could have been far worse. It is extremely fortunate he was not killed at the hands of these men, although he will have to live with what happened that night for the rest of his life.
“These men have now quite rightly lost their freedom, and it shows the consequences of being armed and using a weapon.”
