A woman had a gun pointed at her in a 'terrifying' shooting at a Salford taxi office, a jury has heard. Aaron Gray, 25, has gone on trial accused of being the gunman responsible for the shooting at Swan taxis.
He is also accused of opening fire at a house in Whitefield months later. "The evidence is consistent with Mr Gray pulling the trigger at each shooting," prosecutor Andrew Ford QC alleged during a Manchester Crown Court trial.
