A gunman who shot at a woman before a four-hour rooftop stand-off with police is among the criminals locked up in Greater Manchester this week. Adam Wass barricaded himself in a terrified stranger's house after twice pulling the trigger of a firearm. He was locked up for six years.
Also jailed this week was a former supply teacher who took upskirting pictures of girls within schools he worked in, and an unlicenced teenage driver who struck and killed a grandfather who was crossing the road with his granddaughter.
Gunman jailed for six years
Adam Wass, 36, of no fixed address, was jailed for six years after shooting at a woman before a four-hour standoff with armed police in Salford. Greater Manchester Police said Wass put two innocent people through 'terrifying ordeals'.
Wass attempted to shoot at a woman on St Joseph's Drive, Ordsall, on February 1 this year. The weapon misfired and no bullet emerged from the chamber. He pulled the trigger again as the woman ran and took cover behind a car. That time, a bullet was fired. Wass then went into a nearby home and threatened a man inside, who fled unhurt.
