<p>Shotgun killer Raoul Moat giggled after blasting unarmed Pc David Rathband during his bloody rampage, a court has been told.</p>
<p>The former doorman blinded the married father-of-two when he shot him in the face and shoulder from point-blank range.</p>
<p>He said &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s dead&#8221; before being driven from the scene screaming &#8220;Go, go, go&#8221;, still carrying his smoking gun, Newcastle Crown Court was told.</p>
<p>Moat, 37, was on the run from police having shot and seriously injured his ex-girlfriend, Samantha Stobbart, and executed her new partner, Chris Brown, less than 24 hours earlier.</p>
<p>Moat&#8217;s friend, Karl Ness, said he was terrified he would be the next victim after his former business partner turned into &#8220;a monster&#8221; following the shootings in July. The 26-year-old denies the prosecution claim that he was a &#8220;willing accomplice&#8221; of the shotgun killer.</p>
<p>Giving evidence, he told the jury that he had been too frightened to run away when Moat headed for Pc Rathband&#8217;s patrol car, which was parked on an A1 roundabout in the west of Newcastle.</p>
<p>He said he feared the worst when the gunman jumped from the black Lexus sports car driven by his co-accused, Qhuram Awan, 23, at shortly after midnight on July 3.</p>
<p>He told the court: &#8220;I thought he was out to get a policeman. I said &#8216;This is crazy&#8217;. I did not do anything because I did not think it was safe to get away. We were on the motorway and there was nowhere to run.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Then I seen Raoul come sprinting back down. He ran round the side of the car and jumped into the back seat, and shouted &#8216;Go, go, go&#8217;. I just froze. There was a big burning smell. Raoul had a nervous giggle. He said &#8216;I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s dead&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ness, from Dudley, North Tyneside, denies murdering Mr Brown. Both defendants deny conspiracy to murder, the attempted murder of Pc Rathband, a firearms offence and robbery of a Northumberland fish and chip shop.</p>
