Kane Morrison and the Shooting That Targeted His Family Home
A violent gang feud in Greater Manchester escalated in October 2015 when the family home of Kane Morrison became the target of a shooting, leaving a member of his family seriously injured.
Morrison, from Little Hulton, was later identified by police and prosecutors as being connected to a series of shootings carried out during a violent feud between rival organised crime groups in the Salford area. Greater Manchester Police subsequently obtained a civil injunction against Morrison as part of efforts to stop the violence.
According to evidence presented during the later court case, the chain of violence began when rivals fired a shotgun at Morrison’s home address on 10 October 2015. A family member was seriously injured during the attack. The incident then became a catalyst for a retaliatory series of shootings.
Reports surrounding the wider feud state that, during an earlier shooting at the home of Morrison’s mother, her partner was shot in the back. The attack demonstrated how the conflict had extended beyond the alleged gang members themselves and placed relatives and people inside family homes at serious risk.
Following the attack on Morrison’s family, prosecutors said Morrison and other members of the group met later that day and planned retaliation. At approximately 10.05pm, Morrison and Harry Allen travelled by moped to an address in Farnworth, where shots were fired at a property while a couple were inside watching television. Fortunately, nobody was injured in that particular attack.
The violence continued with another shooting at a property in Little Hulton just over an hour later.
Police eventually pieced together the events using CCTV footage and telephone records, establishing the involvement of several men. The investigation resulted in a major criminal case involving six men and the wider Salford gang feud.
In October 2017, Morrison pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to 17 years in prison, with the sentence also including offences involving a mobile phone and SIM card while he was in prison.
The case illustrates the devastating consequences of gang-related violence: when firearms are used in disputes between rival groups, the danger can quickly reach innocent relatives, partners and residents who have no involvement in the conflict.
The shooting at Morrison’s family home was therefore more than another episode in a gang feud. It showed how violence between rival groups could spill directly into family homes, putting ordinary people in the line of fire.
