Three men who launched a gun, machete and knife attack on a reveller outside a Leeds nightclub have been jailed for a total of 52 years.

Shocking footage shows the victim, a 42-year-old man, being set upon outside the Nite Trax club, in Chapeltown Road shortly before 1am on August 29, last year, while the area was busy with people celebrating the Leeds West Indian Carnival weekend.

The victim received a gunshot wound to the chest after a sawn-off shotgun was fired at him from just a few feet away. He also received knife wounds and had to undergo surgery.

Shaquille Liddie, 24, from Leeds, was identified as the gunman and pleaded guilty to attempted murder and possession of a firearm. He was jailed for 14 years

Three men were arrested and charged with attempted murder after police made CCTV appeals to the public.

Shaquille Liddie, 24, from Leeds, was identified as the gunman and pleaded guilty to attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was jailed for 14 years at Leeds Crown Court today.

Kemar Ricketts, aged 29, and Seion Allen, aged 33, both from Leeds, were found guilty of attempted murder following a trial last week. Both were sentenced to 19 years in prison.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Griffiths, of West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: 'This was an absolutely appallingly violent attack and it is only by sheer chance that the victim was not killed.

'These men armed themselves with a sawn-off shotgun, a machete and a knife and shot the victim at close range in a targeted attack that we have never been able to establish the basis for.

'The whole incident was captured on CCTV and it shows just how busy the area was with people enjoying the evening at the time and the obvious risks there were to others. A woman who was an innocent bystander received slash injuries to her leg during the attack.

'It took a very lengthy and protracted investigation into the circumstances to identify the men responsible and bring them to justice.

'We hope the significant sentences they have received will send a clear deterrent message to others about how seriously offences of this nature will be treated and the heavy penalties that people can expect.

'Guns have absolutely no place in the hands of criminals in our communities and we will continue to do everything we can to tackle firearms crime and protect people from the risks that violent offenders like these present.'
