Gunman jumps out of car and shoots 19-year-old in targeted UK attack

Detectives in the U.K. are looking for a gunman who jumped out of a Mercedes and opened fire on a 19-year-old man in Huyton, Merseyside, on November 7.

The shooting happened around 8:50 p.m. on Manley Road. The victim was hit in the back and leg and rushed to the hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition. Police say he is now serious but stable.

Home security footage widely shared online shows the victim walking down the street looking at his phone when the Mercedes stops. A man gets out of the back seat, raises a handgun with both hands, and fires three shots, sending the victim running. The shooter then gets back in the car, and it speeds away.

Police believe the attack was targeted, but have not released a motive.

No arrests have been made.
