The aftermath of the gun siege played out in Emmerdale tonight after Russ shot David.
Bleeding heavily from his stomach, Victoria and Wendy begged Russ to let them go so David could survive.
But Russ smashed their mobile phones so they were unable to call for help.

As David fell unconscious, Victoria was forced to take matters into her own hands, hitting Russ on the head with a fire extinguisher.
However, fans were all asking the same question about the armed police standing outside The Hideaway.
None of the officers attempted to enter the building, instead, they were seen arguing with a distraught Jacob and Bob.
User RainbowJam tweeted: "Cannot believe someone has been shot in Emmerdale and the police are still standing outside and doing nothing. As if they would be that complacent!"
Peter said: "Police are a bit on the slow side."
Jon tweeted: "Armed police not doing much."
User TellyChat said: "Wtf are the police doing."
Mary added: "Wtf are the police doing? They’ve heard a gun shot and just stood outside doing s** all."
Steve wrote: "Where is the police when you need them?...Oh wait their outside arguing with the others."
And Tony tweeted: "What a load of rubbish, as if the police would let the public be that close!"
