This is the moment a British travel influencer is shot by gunmen who tried to stop his vehicle during a terrifying road trip through Ethiopia.
Charles Wright was travelling alone through the African country when armed militia attempted to stop his car before opening fire on him.
Not realising he had a bullet in his heel, Mr Wright continued his trip, believing the pain in his foot had come from a football injury.
Incredibly, just days later, Mr Wright, from Buxton, Derbyshire, was targeted again after missing a mandatory customs turn-off, he says.
The 40-year-old claimed armed police opened fire on him, leaving two bullet holes in his car.
After being treated in hospital and being kept by an armed guard for seven days, he finally managed to leave Ethiopia.
Video footage showed both times Mr Wright was targeted while driving through the African country.

Six people have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 23-year-old woman in north London.
Four women and two men were taken into custody after police and paramedics discovered the alleged victim unresponsive at a residential address on Bollinder Place in Islington on Thursday.
She was pronounced dead after emergency services attended the scene following calls at 9.33am about concerns for her welfare.
Police have now launched a murder investigation as they work to identify the 23-year-old and inform her next-of-kin.
Four women – aged 20, 21, 23 and 26 – and two men – aged 21 and 24 – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. They have all been released on bail.
On Monday afternoon, there were two forensics vans on Bollinder Place, and a police officer was seen walking out of Valencia Tower.
One resident said her housemate saw water on the floor of the building and a man in handcuffs coming out of the lifts.
Michelle You, 30, who has lived in the area for more than two years, said: 'My housemate said she saw a guy in handcuffs in the lift and she
A Florida woman lost her right arm after surviving an alligator attack while swimming.
The victim, who has yet to be identified, was with her family in the Silver River on Saturday when the 9ft 8in reptile struck, dragging her underwater.
She fought back with a paddle, desperately trying to fend off the predator, but it bit her arm. A heroic bystander then rushed to her aid, helping save her life.
Good Samaritan John Gamache and his father were eating lunch on their boat nearby when they heard the attack unfold.
Gamache spotted the approaching reptile in the crystal-clear spring water and sped his boat toward the group.
'I looked just upriver from us a couple hundred feet and saw an alligator head way above the water and going full speed towards the swimmers,' Gamache said.
By the time he reached the victim, the alligator had let go, while the sound of the boat sent the predator fleeing.
The injured woman was clinging to a paddleboard when the boaters arrived.
THE proportion of voters who think immigration has been 'mostly bad' for the UK has jumped by nearly a third amid ministers' failure to stop the boats.
Just one in five voters said they thought migration has been 'mostly good' for the country.
Attitudes have even hardened among people who voted to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
Among these voters, the number who said migration had been bad for the country has risen from 12 to 22 per cent.
More than 200,000 small boat migrants have arrived in the UK inn recent years, hardening attitudes towards immigration, the YouGov poll suggests
The YouGov survey, for The Times newspaper, also asked voters which
Boy George has vowed to fire band members who refuse to perform his controversial pro-Israel song.
The musician, best known as Culture Club's lead singer, hit out at his bandmates for 'questioning' whether they would play 'We Will Dance Again' alongside him.
In a video posted on Instagram, the 65-year-old songwriter addressed some of the backlash the new song has faced.
He said: 'I'm not lazy, the truth is if I tried to write We Will Dance Again with any musician, they would have gotten in my way.
'They would have said, "you can't say that, that's too controversial. You can't say this, you can't say that".
'Even now that the song is written, there are people in my band who are questioning whether they will perform it with me and those people will be fired.'
Released on July 27, the scandal-hit song, deterring George's band members from taking to the stage, features an AI-generated reggae backing track and pro-Israel vocals.
Lyrics include: 'You say Genocide, I say war' and 'When you're attacked, that's what the army's for'.
For many years, the SNP has lobbied for the abolition of the hated House of Lords – a symbol of colonial oppression.
Now its own affairs may be about to be investigated by peers in a humiliation that would prove politically devastating.
As we revealed yesterday, members of the Lords are gearing up for an inquiry into the scandal over embezzler Peter Murrell.
The former SNP chief executive robbed his party blind for 12 years while married to its leader, Nicola Sturgeon, who says she had no grounds for suspicion – and is now flogging her memoir on the back of the controversy.
There is a grim irony about this awkward situation for John Swinney, though it's also a bit tricky for Anas Sarwar.
The erstwhile Scottish Labour leader is a peer, and a UK Government minister, though naturally he says he wants to scrap the Lords.
It's fashionable to call for it to be ditched – but it's striking that the second chamber is the only one seemingly willing and
A Californian teenager studying law in London died while taking a popular weight loss shot even though she wasn't obese, an inquest heard.
Josephine Nasr, 19, suffered a fatal heart rhythm in her dorm room at the University of East London in September 2025.
She had been prescribed Tirzepatide by her doctor in California, with an inquest into her death held in London on August 3 linking the drug to Nasr's death.
An empty vial of the treatment was found in her room after staff broke in to check on her on September 23 last year.
Nasr was a second-year law student at the University of East London and had only returned to the UK capital from her $1.6 million home in a gated Southern California community the week before her death.
The teenager had spoken to family members at about 8.30pm that evening, but was found dead a little over two hours later, East London Coroner's Court heard.
She had told her father, George, her mother Lorin Mansour and her sister, Anastasia, that she had been feeling nauseous and had been vomiting.

Notorious Irish drug dealer Daniel Kinahan told a podcaster about his fears of being murdered in one of Ireland's toughest prisons, hours before he was extradited to Dublin.
The world's most wanted man was flown back to Ireland after spending years living in exile in Dubai before being transferred to the maximum-security Portlaoise Prison.
'If I happen to fall and bang my head when I have handcuffs on me, I didn't fall,' the married father-of-five said in voice notes sent to podcast host James English.
As he braced for incarceration, the alleged leader of the Kinahan organised crime group shared his concerns about his potential assassination being made to look like a suicide attempt.
'If I end up hanging myself, killing myself, poisoning myself, it didn't happen. I'm not suicidal,' he added.
Portlaoise is infamous for housing several gang members and violent criminals who are held under 24-hour security, with cameras and sensors tracking their every move.
The alleged boss of the Kinahan network – estimated to have assets worth more than £1billion – was whisked away on an Irish government jet back to his home nation, after
Mexican cartels are increasingly executing influencers and social media stars as the online celebrities are dragged into gang wars.
Many of the country's influencers looking to cash in on the various gang's popularity have taken to promoting and praising individual cartels.
But in doing so, they risk painting a target on their heads - with several now paying the ultimate price.
Many are slaughtered publicly in particularly brutal ways, as if to send a macabre message to their followers and other influencers.
Experts said that influencers in the country, particularly the regions of Sinaloa, Jalisco and Mexico City – where cartel activity is high – are increasingly becoming targets of murder. At least nine have been killed in Sinaloa since 2024.
Last week, Mexican influencer Cesar Gastelum was shot dead while livestreaming on social media outside a fast food restaurant in Sinaloa.
Mr Gastelum, who had more than 600,000 followers on TikTok and was famous for his comedy stunts, was broadcasting with two friends – all dressed as food delivery workers as part of a challenge.
Two masked men pulled up on a motorcycle as the trio messed around.
The Treasury 'materially contributed' to the death of an 'exemplary' personal assistant who killed herself after being subjected to disciplinary proceedings sparked by an anonymous complaint, a coroner ruled today.
The Government department failed to follow its own procedures before Chloe Moffat, 26, was found dead at her parents' home in May last year, Surrey Coroners' Court heard.
Ms Moffat had been summoned to a meeting with senior Treasury staff and left fearing for her job despite it being unlikely she would be dismissed.
The inquest heard her managers should have reassured her of this.
The PA, who had worked at the department for three years and was on course for a promotion after receiving a bonus for good work, left the meeting 'devastated' and convinced she had been sacked.
She took her own life the following day.
Coroner Anna Crawford concluded that the Treasury 'contributed' to Ms Moffat's death through its handling of the case.
She ruled Ms Moffat should have been told that, even if the allegations against her were proven, the likely sanction would have been a written warning rather than dismissal.
Ms Crawford said: 'HM Treasury materially contributed to Ms Moffat's death by
Federal authorities are investigating whether the captain of a boat that capsized near the Statue of Liberty, killing a mother and her five-month-old girl, was running an illegal charter business.
Manuel Hernandez, 46, previously faced 13 state charges of reckless endangerment after Sara Sanchez, 27, and her daughter, five-month-old Antonella Garcia, were killed when the boat flipped in New York Harbor at around 10.30pm on Saturday.
The boat captain had allegedly been operating the 21-foot white Yamaha AR210 while it was dangerously overloaded with 14 people onboard, the New York Police Department said.
Hernandez was transferred to federal custody on Sunday after being treated at a Brooklyn hospital for minor injuries, sources told the New York Post.
His state-level criminal charges are no longer being pursued as a federal investigation into the boat captain moves forward, with new charges expected to be announced as early as Monday.
The federal investigation is centered on whether the 21-foot vessel was carrying more people than allowed and whether Hernandez was running a passenger-for-hire business without proper US Coast Guard credentials, safety equipment or a certificate of inspection.

This is the moment a bungalow was completely destroyed in a suspected gas explosion.
The property in Newton Longville, near Milton Keynes, was caught on doorbell video footage from a nearby home as it exploded on Sunday morning.
A man named locally as Stephen Woodward, who is believed to have lived there, has been taken to hospital while his pet dobermann was taken to the vet.
The 67-year-old was moved to a specialist burn unit after around 85 per cent of his body was scorched, it is understood.
Footage shows bricks and debris flying out on to the street, damaging nearby homes and cars, while plumes of black smoke were seen rising from the property as locals approached the wreckage following the blast.
Residents reportedly gathered in a nearby pub where victims were treated by the emergency services.
A witness described the explosion as 'very scary' while another said they heard a 'bang' three miles away in Bletchley.
