A mum was left with horrific shotgun wounds after being blasted as she baked a cottage pie.
Emma Robinson was shot through the window by gunmen Thomas Lee and James Lee in an apparent revenge attack after a fall-out between the Lees and her son.
The mum was in her kitchen on Saturday night when she heard a loud bang and a smash as the kitchen window broke, Chronicle Live reported.
Suddenly she felt something hit the side of her face and back.
The shooting left Ms Robinson with buckshot wounds peppered across her back.
The Lees brothers are now facing long prison sentences after jurors at Newcastle Crown Court convicted them of attempting to murder the mum.
They were cleared of trying to murder their cousin, Jordan King, around 26 hours after shooting Miss Robinson, but were found guilty of attempting to wound him with intent by firing a shotgun his way.
James Lee was also convicted of possessing ammunition when prohibited due to the fact it was within five years of him being imprisoned for nine months in 2017 for religious or racially aggravated harassment.
Thomas Lee, 21, of no fixed address and James Lee, 27 of Henry Nelson Street, South Shields will be sentenced next week and face substantial prison sentences.
Jurors were told it was around 10pm on October 3 last year that Miss Robinson was in her kitchen in Newcastle when the window behind her smashed and she felt pain in her face, arm and back.
She had been shot but didn't realise what had happened initially.
Miss Robinson said: "I was making cottage pie in the kitchen, facing the microwave.
"I heard a loud, like a bang but I don't know what type of bang, but I could hear the glass at the same time.
"I felt something hit the side of my face and I turned round and it's obviously caught my back.
"I went straight through to the living room. There was glass everywhere."
Asked to elaborate on the bang, she said: "It was like an echo type thing then I felt something hit my face but I don't know if it was the glass or something else and something hit the top of my back."
She added: "I was in shock at the time. It more sinks in afterwards when you think it could've been really serious this."
Simon Myerson QC, prosecuting, said during the trial: "She briefly caught site of someone with broad shoulders out of the window, dressed all in black at the side outside the kitchen window and she thought it was a man.
"She couldn't think of any reason why anyone would do it."
Mr Myerson said anyone getting ready to fire at the kitchen in the dark would have known they were not firing into an empty room and that a woman was present.
At about 1.35am on October 5, Mr King was in his flat when he was shot at.
Mr Myerson said it was not necessary for the prosecution to prove a motive for the attacks but told the jury: "As far as we can tell, Jordan King was shot at because he had an argument with one or both of these men and Emma Robinson was shot because earlier on October 3, Thomas Lee and his father had been involved in an argument with her son.
"On October 3 in the afternoon, Thomas Lee was seen outside his father's address screaming in anger and saying on the phone 'I've done people's knees before, I've used a gun'.
"It appears these two shootings were carried out for revenge and because they were cross."
