Three men have been jailed for their involvement in shootings between two rival gangs in Nottingham.
Nottinghamshire Police said a shooting at a car in Radford on 3 August 2018 was reciprocated with a revenge shooting weeks later.
Richard Burnett, Traequarn Lambert and Rudy Burnett were sentenced following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
Det Insp Mark Adas said it was a "complex investigation... into a tit-for-tat gang rivalry".
The trio were all jailed in May, but reporting restrictions prevented the publication of any details until now.
On 3 August 2018, police said a shot was fired by a Radford gang member at a car driven by people from St Ann's, in Tennyson Street, Radford.
Then on 21 August, a Radford man was fired at in a revenge shooting in Oldknow Street.
Both times the shots missed their targets.
Later in March 2019, St Ann's gang members plotted a further attack arming themselves with weapons, but were arrested by police.
