Copperwaite is also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, robbery and supplying class A drugs.

Magistrates were told that Mr Mahmood was in the toilet when Copperwaite allegedly threatened staff at gunpoint and helped himself to cash on the till.

Mr Wills said that the 24-year-old then chased him from the shop and rugby tackled him to the ground where he was shot.
