A man who shot five people with an air rifle in Boston had served as a sniper in the Lithuanian Army.

Ruslanas Solovjovas, 39, was jailed for 14 months on Friday after he admitted firing pellets from a flat in the former Wellington pub building in the Frieston Road area of Boston.

Lincoln Crown Court heard five people were injured after Solovjovas targeted passers-by and shoppers on a quiet Sunday morning.
