text: Shaun Bryan - who was the intended target of the shot which paralysed little Thusha Kamaleswaran in 2011 - was jailed for another crime this week . The criminal who dodged the bullet that paralysed five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran in a botched gangland hit has been jailed. Shaun Bryan, 23, was the intended target of the shooting that shocked the nation in March 2011. Thusha, who had been was playing in the aisle of her uncle's shop in Stockwell, south London, was caught in the crossfire when two gangs clashed. Bryan has now been jailed for a separate crime in which he and an accomplice subjected two women to a 'ruthless attack' in their home in Croydon, south London on December 17 last year. He and 20-year-old Gino Sawyers threatened the women at knifepoint before stealing mobile phones, a laptop and cash. They were both sentenced at Croydon Crown Court after pleading guilty to aggravated burglary. Thusha was hit in the chest and the bullet passed through the seventh vertebra of her spine in 2011. Chilling CCTV footage showed the girl, then five, skipping and dancing in one of the aisles of the shop when she was shot. She went into cardiac arrest twice, and had to undergo emergency surgery in the shop and in hospital. Doctors feared that she would never be able to move her legs again - but she has since regained feeling in both legs, raising hopes that she might one day be able to walk.

In Bryan's most recent crime, police officers used a mobile phone tracking app to trace him and his accomplice but lost the pair when they dropped the items they stole. The Met's dog unit was called in and an Alsatian called Jacob helped hunt down the pair. Both men were sentenced to six years and three months, with Bryan, of Stockwell, jailed and Sawyers, of no fixed abode, sent to a young offenders' institution. Investigating officer Detective Constable John Davis said: 'This burglary was of a particularly violent nature, the men subjected the two victims to a ruthless attack by threatening them with knives and violence in their own home.' Bryan was previously sentenced to two years and four months in a young offenders' institution in 2012 after pleading guilty to eight counts of supplying heroin and cocaine at the Inner London Crown Court.
