Scots driver tells murder trial her friend was 'shot in the head' in her car

A driver told a murder trial her friend was “shot in the head” as he sat in the passenger seat of her car.

Emma MacDougall, 25, said she and Kenny Reilly were in her car and had stopped at traffic lights when a Ford vehicle with blacked-out windows pulled up beside them.

At the High Court in Edinburgh, she told prosecutor Steven Borthwick “a person” holding a handgun emerged from the back of the vehicle and started shooting.

Emma said: “Somebody wearing all black and a black balaclava and started shooting at my car.”

The court was told she called emergency services and jurors heard Emma telling an operator: “I need an ambulance right now. Kenny, Kenny, can you hear me? Oh my God.”

The operator was heard asking if Reilly was breathing. Emma replied: “He’s trying to.”

She added: “My friend has been shot in the head. Please hurry up, man. I swear to God there’s blood pouring out of his head.”

Emma was giving evidence in the trial of John Kennedy, 41, Morton Eadie, 55, Darren Eadie, 30, and Ross Fisher, also 30, who all deny murdering Kenny in Glasgow’s Maryhill in April 2018 and other charges.

Kennedy is also on trial for the fatal shooting of Jamie Campbell in Glasgow in March 2006.

The trial before judge Lord Beckett continues.
