Peter Mitchell was sat outside the El Jardin bar in Puerto Banus, when the hitman opened fire at 11.40pm on Thursday.The gunman tripped as he fired off four shots, and injured two innocent bystanders as he chased after his target. Mitchell, 39, escaped with two bullet wounds to the shoulder. An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: "The gunman tripped as he chased after Mitchell and that saved his life. His weapon went off as he was falling to the ground and the bullets went off in different directions. Mitchell was running towards the back of the bar to try and find some cover and got hit in the shoulder. The other two victims just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It all happened so quickly, the gunman was up and out of the bar before anyone could react properly."
