It's been revealed that the victim of a shooting in West Bromwich

:00:00.:00:09.

earlier this week had previously been jailed for a hit-and-run

:00:10.:00:12.

accident which resulted in the death of a 91-year-old man.

:00:13.:00:16.

Carl Campbell was jailed after the crash in Tipton in 2009.

:00:17.:00:18.

On Tuesday, he was shot dead in West Bromwich.

:00:19.:00:20.

Two men have appeared before Dudley magistrates.

:00:21.:00:22.

This is Carl Campell eight years ago.

:00:23.:00:30.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was killed in this car

:00:31.:00:32.

after suffering a gunshot wound to his head.

:00:33.:00:36.

The shooting took place on this busy road in West Bromwich.

:00:37.:00:39.

33-year-old Carl Campbell was a passenger in the car,

:00:40.:00:43.

which was stationary at the junction of High Street and Dartmouth Street.

:00:44.:00:47.

This morning, two men charged with murder have appeared

:00:48.:00:50.

19-year-old Mohammed Humza and 24-year-old Vikesh Chauhan stood

:00:51.:00:54.

in the dock, confirming they had no fixed abode.

:00:55.:01:05.

They'll appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court tomorrow.

:01:06.:01:06.

Police believe an Audio Q5 recovered nearby may have been

:01:07.:01:09.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for anyone in the area around

:01:10.:01:13.

West Brom high street and Dartmouth St just after 2:30

:01:14.:01:16.

An increasing number of youngsters are getting in touch with charities

:01:17.:01:27.

suffering from stress or anxiety because of social media.

:01:28.:01:30.

The MP for Cheltenham, Alex Chalk, says he's worried about the effects

:01:31.:01:33.

of the digital age on teenagers' mental health and is calling

:01:34.:01:37.

the bosses of social media sites to Parliament for an inquiry

:01:38.:01:40.

They are the first thing we pick up in the morning and the last thing

:01:41.:01:46.

How many times a day do you check your phone?

:01:47.:01:49.

A recent study suggests we actually check our phones

:01:50.:01:57.

Those we met at this Cheltenham school now use a giddying array

:01:58.:02:02.

YouTube. Instagram. Facebook. Tumblr. Vine.

:02:03.:02:13.

I maybe wake up once during the night and, if I'm awake,

:02:14.:02:16.

I maybe feel over and think I might as well have a little scroll

:02:17.:02:19.

I know not just young people, but adults, who are falling

:02:20.:02:27.

into that habit of deep anxiety when they don't have

:02:28.:02:31.

The Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk is particularly concerned

:02:32.:02:37.

He has called an inquiry in Parliament in the New Year,

:02:38.:02:44.

inviting all the big social media firms, but they insist they already

:02:45.:02:47.

Facebook said it had introduced new features and tools

:02:48.:02:57.

It has launched a parent portal this week, with tips for talking

:02:58.:03:01.

to children about their use of the site, and that it was

:03:02.:03:04.

governed by a clear set of guidelines for acceptable behaviour.

:03:05.:03:06.

Our devices can cope with any number of swipes,

:03:07.:03:08.

One of the questions the inquiry will consider is, can we?

:03:09.:03:15.

Police are trying to track down two people seen moving traffic cones

:03:16.:03:18.

We've speeded up the footage slightly to show you

:03:19.:03:21.

The two people, one also walking a dog, move the cones so that

:03:22.:03:26.

traffic can go down both lanes of the road near the British

:03:27.:03:29.

Police say their actions would have put both roadworkers

:03:30.:03:32.

A five-year-old boy, who was given part of his father's liver,

:03:33.:03:41.

says he feels "super-better" nine months after the operation.

:03:42.:03:43.

Harry Maceachen, from Shrewsbury, was born with a rare liver disease.

:03:44.:03:46.

The liver's the only internal organ that can regenerate.

:03:47.:03:48.

Tim Muffett's been to Shropshire to see how the family are getting on.

:03:49.:04:02.

For the family, 2016 was life changing. One of them was

:04:03.:04:09.

life-saving. This nor the donor available, Simon deleted part of his

:04:10.:04:16.

condition that is a blockage of the condition that is a blockage of the

:04:17.:04:19.

bile ducts. We have so many locations where Harry would go to

:04:20.:04:22.

bed at night fit and healthy and six o'clock in the morning he would

:04:23.:04:24.

up with the roaring temperature, up with the roaring temperature,

:04:25.:04:27.

:04:39.:04:41.

well to recover from the surgery, it took them a lot quicker to recover

:04:42.:04:50.

than I did. I love you. I love you too. I have daddy's liver now. Is

:04:51.:05:05.

yours, you can keep it. What can you do now you couldn't do before? Run

:05:06.:05:15.

really fast. You've been taking part in the transplant games. These

:05:16.:05:21.

medals are yours. I feel super better. Hospitals can be unsettling

:05:22.:05:27.

places for children. For their operations, Harry and Simon were

:05:28.:05:30.

matching gowns specially made for volunteers -- by volunteers known as

:05:31.:05:36.

the pyjama theories. The latest batch is destined for the

:05:37.:05:37.

Royal Hospital in Telford and will Royal Hospital in Telford and will

:05:38.:05:41.

be a special delivery. We spent a lot of time there, he knows everyone

:05:42.:05:51.

:05:55.:05:57.

all we can to make it more homely environment and the jammers give

:05:58.:06:00.

them something to talk about and choose. Harry knows how comforting

:06:01.:06:08.

it can be. We hope this will make you smile. you certainly made us

:06:09.:06:15.

smile, Harry, and shed a little tear!

:06:16.:06:16.

Before we go, can you help reunite this little cat with its owners?

:06:17.:06:19.

The black and white cat's being cared for at a vets in Kent

:06:20.:06:22.

after being discovered in the back of a workman's van.

:06:23.:06:25.

The man had been on a trip to the Midlands, working

:06:26.:06:27.

near the Odeon cinemas in Telford and Birmingham.

:06:28.:06:29.

The cat has a distinctive collar with the name Boss on it.

:06:30.:06:32.

So if Boss is your cat, or you think you know who he belongs to,

:06:33.:06:41.

Time for the weather and I reckon it'll be cool,

:06:42.:06:43.

to say the least, for fans heading to the Aston Villa-Leeds game

:06:44.:06:46.

frosty day but some places got frosty day but some places got

:06:47.:07:00.

bright sky. Some places didn't see the frost shifting it also tricky

:07:01.:07:02.

driving conditions but we have also had some fog which lingered for much

:07:03.:07:09.

of the day. We are going to see a change as we head through the day

:07:10.:07:12.

but still some fog out there at the moment. Tomorrow, we will start to

:07:13.:07:15.

see the cloud lifting that for a little bit but it's still going to

:07:16.:07:17.

be a the temperatures dipping down to a possible minus three Celsius

:07:18.:07:22.

but after New Year's day as New Year's Eve, this cold front is going

:07:23.:07:29.

to change things up a little bit. The cloud lifts the fog and it will

:07:30.:07:33.

be a grey day and there may be some brighter spells for a time with

:07:34.:07:36.

temperatures ranging between six and eight Celsius. The latter part of

:07:37.:07:41.

tomorrow, the cloud sits across us and should lift any mist and fog.

:07:42.:07:48.

Again, it will be Jelinek with temperatures -- a chilly night with

:07:49.:07:50.

temperatures around four to six Celsius.

:07:51.:07:51.

We'll be back at 11:10pm with your late bulletin.
