Paul Ritchie fired at Emma Davis and the children from his garden 😟
A Lanarkshire man who kicked a woman's dog before shooting at her and four children with a paintball gun won't be going to jail for his crimes.
The same year Ritchie was placed under social work supervision for targeting author JK Rowling and other individuals with threatening messages, the Daily Record reports.Sentencing over the paintball attack in 2020 was delayed repeatedly for background and psychiatric reports after he admitted the offence in May last year.
Maya suffered trauma from the attack and had to be put down. Ritchie’s defence solicitor, Alanah Campbell, said his behaviour was down to his “poor” mental health at the time.
