Daniel Lawless is accused of shooting a man in the legs with a shotgun in Croxteth, Liverpool, in an incident described by both outlets as a mistaken identity attack. The victim, David Forbes, is reported to have been shot while outside his home during a trip for food, including a stop for chips, according to the Manchester Evening News. The Irish Mirror reports the shooting follows an earlier incident in which Lawless was recorded on CCTV in a pub car park, where he allegedly showed the shotgun to friends. Both reports indicate the attack involved the victim being targeted by mistake, rather than through a confirmed dispute with him directly. The articles describe the overall sequence as Lawless handling or displaying the weapon before the shooting and suggest the victim was caught up in the confrontation due to confusion over identity. The reports do not provide further details about injuries, charges, or court proceedings beyond the account of the accusation and the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
