In the footage of the incident which went viral on social media, Alunomoh, 33, recorded himself loading and firing guns into the air from his top-floor balcony as he shouts along to Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” which was playing in the background. He then proceeded to display his array of firearms.


Alunomoh sent shoppers at the Dockside Outlet Shopping Centre running back in fear as he fired around 50 shots before the police heavily armed officers descended on the scene.

Six imitation guns were seized.

A spokesman for Kent Police said:
