A man who shot a mum with a paintball gun as she walked the West Highland Way has been jailed.

Anthony Rasmussen targeted 47-year-old Miriam Bell during the shooting spree between Glasgow and Carbeth.

Rasmussen fired six shots from the Audi car he was in, hitting Mrs Bell on the hip.

Dad-of-two Rasmussen injured 59-year-old Elizabeth Hayes who was also walking on the same route, shooting her twice to the rib cage, on the elbow and side of her face.

He also fired paint at Daniel Malone, 21, in Knightswood, Richard Wood, 63, and Scott Wilkie, 18, in Bearsden, 55-year-old Mary Summers, in Clydebank and at a car in Carbeth.

Rasmussen, 24, from Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to seven charges.

Sheriff Martin Jones QC jailed him for 18 months on Thursday.

The court heard between 1.55pm and 4.10pm on June 23 last year, Rasmussen shot at random members of the public with a paintball gun.

Mrs Bell was walking on the West Highland Way when the Audi slowed down beside them.

She noticed the passenger window was open and as it passed her, Rasmussen pointed what she thought was an air rifle in her direction.

Prosecutor Lucy Adams said: "The vehicle then stopped and this male fired the gun approximately six times at them, one shot successfully struck Mrs Bell on her left hip."

She screamed which alerted her husband and he noted the registration of the car and contacted the police.
