An armed thug captured on chilling CCTV storming into a computer shop in broad daylight armed with a shotgun has been jailed for eight years.

Azeem Hussain, 26, was part of a gang which targeted a business in Smethwick, West Mids., leaving two men in their 40s with gunshot wounds.

Shocking video footage shows a Ford Fiesta first pulling up outside City Computers before a group of masked thugs started attacking the store.

Two offenders wielding axes begin to smash the windows of the shop while two others head inside brandishing shotguns.

One yob can then be seen blasting towards a closed door with the deadly firearm before booting it open and making his way into a back office.

Two of the intruders then suddenly dash back out of the room and towards their getaway vehicle while their accomplices continue to trash the store.

One victim was hit in the arm by a bullet while another suffered a neck injury but 'miraculously' survived the attack at midday on January 12 last year.

CCTV footage from the previous day showed the gang scouting out the route from their addresses to areas surrounding the store.
