Sean McGovern, 25, blasted shots outside a pub in a chilling warning to a rival

Sean McGovern, 25, blasted shots outside a pub in a chilling warning to a rival, a court heard yesterday.Drinkers dived for cover as Sean McGovern, 25, fired two shots at the Gauntlet Bar in Broomhouse, Edinburgh.His driver Terry Scott, 26, from the city's Pilton area, admitted the same charge as he was acting in concert.
The High Court in Glasgow was told McGovern, from Liberton, Edinburgh, wanted to frighten rival Jamie Hyland, who was drinking in the bar with his family.He also admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin along with Darren Elliot, 32, from Niddrie, Edinburgh.The court heard McGovern was caught because cops had bugged his house in an undercover drugs operation.That led them to the gun, which had been dismantled and dumped in a park.Paul Kearney, prosecuting, said McGovern was dealing at a level where profits of tens of thousands could be made.Sentence was deferred until next month and all three men were remanded in custody.
