A teenage murderer was the intended target of a gangland shooting foiled by detectives.
James Foy was one of two men convicted of gunning down Michael Rainsford in Litherland last April.
Months earlier the thug was himself the subject of a gun plot sparked by claims he and an associate had fired at a rival’s dad, the ECHO can now reveal.
The conspiracy, planned from behind bars, was part of a violent tit-for-tat struggle waged on the streets of Bootle, Seaforth, and Litherland.
