VIDEO footage of a Huddersfield man allegedly shooting another man in the head was shown at the trial of three men accused of attempted murder.

Bradley Okoro, Carl Hughes and James Collier are all accused of attempting to murder a Sheffield man during an early morning disturbance in Huddersfield town centre in 2006.

It is alleged that Okoro, of New Hey Road, fired shots at a Jeep with one of the bullets hitting victim Damian Munroe in the forehead.

Hughes and Collier were said to be his associates at the shooting and also stand trial for attempted murder.

In his opening speech, prosecutor Tom Bayliss QC said: “In the early hours of April 22 2006, an attempt was made to shoot a man in the head.

“The shooting forms an integral part of group violence that was directed towards some men from Sheffield.
