Landlady shot in the leg during pub brawl

This is the horrifying moment a gunman opened fire during a pub brawl, shooting the landlady in the leg

This is the horrifying moment a gunman opened fire during a pub brawl, injuring the landlady.

Bonita Page, 55, was attempting to resolve a fight outside The Red Lion in Wath upon Dearne, near Sheffield in England’s north, when she was shot in the leg in June 2024.

The gunman, Oliver Corney, 35, received a 16 year and nine month sentence at Sheffield Crown Court.

He will spend 11 years and nine months in prison, with a five-year extension on licence the BBC reported.

Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said he “narrowly avoided a life sentence” after he “wrecked [Ms Page’s] life”.

Video footage released by South Yorkshire Police shows the terrifying moment Corney opened fire outside the busy pub.

Corney cannot be seen in the video, but four men in the street can clearly be seen confronting him.

Meanwhile, Ms Page leaves the beer garden, passing through a gate to speak to the men.

Several individuals begin to crowd around the gated fencing while the group of men flinches backwards as a shot is fired.

One of the men charges at Corney as he begins firing the gun.

Ms Page can then be seen limping back in to the pub garden.

Once the footage is slowed down, a bullet can be seen hitting Ms Page’s upper leg moments before she flinches in pain.

It left her needing surgery to repair the muscle damage in her leg.

Following the attack, Ms Page gave up her licence and is yet to return to work.

She still suffers from leg pain, as well as heightened anxiety and PTSD.

On June 28, 2024 a fight over drugs had broken out between two pub-goers.

After hearing about the disagreement, an intoxicated Corney arrived at the scene.

During a confrontation outside the pub, Corney then fired the gun three times.

While he was aiming at one of the men, he accidentally shot Ms Page as she attempted to resolve the fight.

Corney fled the scene, getting rid of the gun and asking his partner to dispose of his clothes.

The judge told the court that she would be honoured with a bravery award at a ceremony during a later date.

The gunman had a long history of convictions, including violence, sex offences, firearms and drugs offences.
