CCTV caught moment two men shoot each other outside Birmingham nightclub Aaron Nubie, 47, and Kimani Durrell-Smith, 28, pulled out guns and began shooting by FJ Lounge, in Aston, Birmigham, with an innocent food seller Garth Pantry also hit The moment two men opened fire on each other outside a nightclub after a row about 'disrespect' was caught on CCTV. Aaron Nubie, 47, and Kimani Durrell-Smith, 28, pulled out guns and began shooting by FJ Lounge, in Aston, Birmingham, on March 23 last year. They were both struck as was Garth Pantry, an innocent food seller at the venue, who was caught up in the firing. He said in a victim impact statement how he had been left traumatised with difficulty sleeping as well as not being able to work. The chaos unfolded when Nubie returned to the venue with intent to "put right the disrespect" he believed he had been subjected to, Judge Andrew Smith KC said in court. Durrell-Smith, from Erdington, went to buy food outside the club and Nubie approached him with a gun before the violence erupted. Judge Smith said it was not "significantly premeditated" but neither was it spontaneous. Durrell-Smith pulled out his gun when he saw Nubie and both men opened fire within a fraction of a second of each other. One of the bullets passed through Durrell-Smith's shoulder and hit in the shoulder Mr Pantry who was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery for a partial collapse to his lungs. Nubie also required treatment having been shot in the neck and hand while Durrell-Smith did not attend the hospital despite the gunshot wound to his own shoulder. Representing himself in court, Nubie said: "It was a form of self-defence. I felt like I had a right to do it because my life was at stake at the situation." He said he had known Mr Pantry for many years and insisted he meant no harm to him. Nubie, from Stockland Green, said he had experienced gang culture and organised crime in the past which had left him with post traumatic stress disorder and fearing he would lose his life to gun crime. The two defendants were both found guilty of two offences of wounding with intent while each admitted possessing a prohibited firearm, reported BirminghamLive. They were handed extended sentences of 15 years in custody with extended three-year licence periods at Birmingham Crow Court on October 22. Judge Andrew Smith KC said: "You didn't know one another but you had something in common. Each of you, as you accept, were in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun. "Each of you carried your firearm in a readily accessible way and, as events were to unfold, did not hesitate to use your lethal, illegal weapons." A West Midlands Police spokesperson added: "We responded immediately, launched a major investigation, caught them, and they’re now starting prison sentences. We’re working relentlessly every day to tackle violent crime and take guns off the streets of the West Midlands."
