A TEENAGER is facing a life sentence after being convicted of murdering a nursing assistant in a "Wild West" shoot-out.
Magda Pniewska, 26, was caught in the cross-fire while two teenagers fired at each other across a car park in New Cross, south-east London, in October last year.
Armel Gnango, 17, was found guilty of murder even though his gun did not fire the fatal bullet and he had not been firing at her.
Gnango named another 17-year-old as the other gunman. The youth was arrested and is still on police bail but has yet to be charged.
Gnango, of Brixton, south London, was also found guilty at the Old Bailey of attempted murder of the youth and having a gun to endanger life. He will be sentenced next month.
