An "assassin" was left with blood pouring from his chest after his target wrestled away his gun and shot him twice.
James Freeman, 24, wore a mask and hoodie as he entered the crowded Old Bank Pub in Liverpool in May last year, with a loaded semi-automatic pistol and plans to gun down Alan Roberts, 30.
But quick thinking Roberts hid behind a door and grabbed the pistol as Freeman entered - leaving the two career criminals wrestling for control of the weapon.
