One man was hit in the back and another, Brandon Nolan, narrowly escaped injury at the hands of Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere, 23.
The violence erupted after Nolan and another man were travelling in a taxi in the Derker area of Oldham on January 16 this year.
As the vehicle reached Shaw Road, the men inside the taxi spotted Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere ride by on a Surron electric bike.
He was dressed in all black with his face covered and saw them in the back of the taxi.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere then began to follow the taxi and shouted at the driver to let his passengers out.
The driver pulled up and, fearing for his life, fled.
The gunman shouted at the two passengers again to get out and got into the rear of the taxi himself.
As he does so, one of the passengers jumped on the bike Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere had left on the side of the road.
But as he tried to flee, Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere pulled out his handgun and fired, hitting him in the back.
He then turned the gun through the open car door at Nolan who got out brandishing a knife.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere fired again, missing Nolan by inches, but causing damage to the taxi.
Nolan then escaped himself and was picked up by another taxi moments later.
Footage of Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere running away and a series of subsequent arrests has also been released, with armed police storming a block of flats in Hulme, Manchester.
As officers made their way into the apartment, a black Puma man bag was launched from a window.
It was later discovered and contained a small silver revolver that had a cylinder chamber with a capacity for five bullets.
Three bullets were loaded and it was believed the two missing bullets were used in the shooting the day before.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere was charged with two counts of attempted murder, section 18 assault, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Ahead of a scheduled trial, he pleaded guilty to Section 18 wounding, attempted Section 18 wounding and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
He was handed a 16 year- prison sentence.
Brandon Nolan, of no fixed address, was also sentenced to 12 months in prison for possession of a blade.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from the Major Incident Team at Greater Manchester Police said: 'Today's sentencing marks a significant milestone in our ongoing fight against gun violence in Oldham.
"Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere showed a complete disregard for public safety when he opened fire in broad daylight back in January, endangering not just his intended targets but innocent members of our community who were simply going about their daily lives.
'Over the past year, our firearms unit has worked tirelessly to tackle gun crime across Oldham.
"We've increased patrols in known hotspots, conducted numerous weapons sweeps, and worked closely with community leaders to identify and disrupt criminal networks."

Lucy Letby alleged to have murdered and harmed more babies
Detectives investigating the former nurse Lucy Letby have passed evidence to prosecutors alleging she murdered and harmed more babies. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed on Wednesday that it was considering further charges against Letby over alleged crimes at the Countess of Chester hospital and Liverpool Women's hospital. It is understood that evidence relating to more than six cases has been passed to prosecutors by Cheshire constabulary. It follows the arrest this week of three former Countess of Chester hospital bosses on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Letby, 35, is serving 15 whole-life prison terms after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others in the year to June 2016. The former neonatal nurse is seeking to overturn her convictions at the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), having lost two legal challenges at the court of appeal. Police have faced mounting questions about Letby's convictions after an international panel of experts announced in February that they had found no evidence of criminality against her after reviewing medical records and other documents. However, Cheshire Constabulary is continuing three criminal investigations into the nurse, hospital bosses and into alleged corporate manslaughter by the Countess of Chester hospital NHS foundation trust. The three former hospital managers arrested on Monday on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter have not been named and have declined to comment. They have all been released on police bail. The CPS said on Wednesday it had 'received a full file of evidence from Cheshire Constabulary asking us to consider further allegations in relation to deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the Countess of Chester hospital and Liverpool Women's hospital.' A spokesperson said it would 'carefully consider the evidence to determine whether any further criminal charges should be brought', adding: 'As always, we will make that decision independently, based on the evidence and in line with our legal test.' Any further charges against Letby are likely to be highly controversial given the ongoing concerns about her convictions. A further prosecution against the former nurse would have to be approved by Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions, and potentially by the government's most senior law officer, Richard Hermer. As the criminal investigations continue, the CCRC is at the early stages of reviewing two large dossiers of expert medical evidence casting doubt on her convictions, which followed two trials at Manchester crown court. Mark McDonald, Letby's new barrister, has described the new material as 'overwhelming evidence' that she should be released from prison, where she has been held since November 2020. The senior Conservative MP Sir David Davis earlier this year said the nurse was the victim of 'one of the major injustices of modern times'. However, lawyers for the babies who died and were harmed in Letby's care have dismissed the expert evidence as 'old and full of analytical flaws'. Peter Skelton KC, for the families of seven of the babies, told the Thirlwall inquiry in March that the doubts were based on 'fragile towers of speculation'. Richard Baker KC, representing the families of 12 of the babies, said there was 'nothing remarkable or new' about the material passed to the CCRC, adding that the bereaved parents had become a 'sideshow within a ghoulish media circus'.

Mother who lost her arm and leg after falling under Tube train 'contributed' to her own life-changing injuries, claims TfL amid £25m lawsuit
A mother who is seeking up to £25m in compensation after losing her right arm and leg after being hit by two Tube trains contributed to her own injuries, according to Transport for London. Sarah de Lagarde, 46, a mother of two from Camden, slipped on a wet platform at High Barnet station in north London in September 2022 and fell down the gap between the train and the platform. She also broke her nose and two front teeth in the fall, but nobody heard her desperate cries for help. After being hit by two trains, she was rushed to hospital where her limbs were amputated. The PR executive, who now uses two prosthetic limbs - including a bionic arm, has since launched a legal battle against Transport for London (TfL). However, in defence documents submitted to the High Court by TfL 's legal team and seen by the Standard, it is claimed that 'the incident was caused or contributed to by the claimant's negligence'. The London transport network says Ms de Lagarde 'placed herself in a position of danger' as she was 'negligent' in how she got off the train. Ms De Lagarde, global head of corporate affairs at City investment firm Janus Henderson, was returning home from work when the accident happened at about 10pm on September 30, 2022. She fell asleep and was woken up by another passenger at the end of the Northern Line at High Barnet station, eight miles past her stop to get home to Camden. Ms de Lagarde spoke outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London last year, directing her message to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and the bosses of TfL, prior to launching legal action at the court After getting off the train, she noticed it was returning back the same way and stepped backwards to get back on. But she fell through the gap onto the tracks. TfL defence lists six grounds of Ms de Lagarde's alleged contributory negligence Failed to manage her exit from the train so that she was on stable footing when she was on the platform. Failed to walk safely along the platform so that she stepped sideways and backwards on the platform after alighting the train and fell backwards into the gap. Failed reasonably to maintain her balance. Failed to have sufficient regard for her own safety and placed herself in a position of danger. Failed to heed warnings of the existence of the gap, including announcements given on the network of the existence of a gap between trains and platforms. Failed to guard against the obvious risk of danger of falling off the platform if positioned close to its edge. According to the TfL defence: 'The claimant took a few steps forward on to the platform and then took a few steps backwards, before the rear of her body struck the rear side of the door of the train she had exited from. 'The claimant continued to move backwards and, approximately seven seconds after exiting the train, she fell into the gap between carriages five and six of the train.' Around five minutes later, the train driver walked back through the train to get to the driver's cab to start his return journey southbound. He noticed Ms de Lagarde's brown leather bag wedged between the train and the platform, which he later handed to lost property. But he didn't investigate further. TfL's defence said the driver 'did not see or hear the claimant at that point and did not look into the gap, having no reason to do so'. She called out for help, but no one came and the train left the platform, bringing her right arm with it. She managed to reach her phone but her face was so badly injured the face ID didn't work and it was too wet from the rain for the touchscreen to function, so she again tried to shout for help. But again, no one came. And then a second train arrived, running over her right leg. Standing outside the Royal Courts of Justice in central London last February, she said: 'There were no staff on that platform, and no one was watching CCTV. No one had responded to my screams for help. 'Twenty-two tonnes of steel crushed my limbs, and, if that wasn't bad enough, I remained on the tracks undetected until the second train came into the station, crushing me for a second time. 'A few weeks before I was hit by the two Tube trains, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with my husband, which was a lifelong dream of mine. 'I felt on top of the world, and overnight all that changed. I am now severely disabled for life.' TfL say that the driver of the second train did not see Ms de Lagarde lying on the track, despite the train's headlights being on. However, TfL said their purpose was 'not to illuminate the tracks or the platform' but to make the train visible to workers on the track. Ms de Lagarde was on the tracks for 15 minutes before the alarm was raised and London Fire Brigade and London's Air Ambulance medics rushed to the scene, Three air ambulance medics helped save her life, with Dr Benjamin Marriage and paramedics Chris Doyle and Kevin Cuddon receiving a national bravery award. Mr Cuddon said: 'Sarah was trapped in a very awkward position so I crawled under the train to help the London Fire Brigade get her out. 'Together we had to carry her about 30m under the train and put her on a device to lift her up to the platform. 'She was really quiet, pale and had lost some blood.' Ms de Lagarde had stepped onto an 'accessibility hump', a slope of a ramp that is designed to make it easier for wheelchair users to board trains. An investigation by TfL found that the ramp was 'in principle compliant' with TfL's standards and that 'passengers stepping onto the base of the platform ramp is considered a sub-optimal arrangement' but was nevertheless Ms de Lagarde says 'remained conscious and continued to cry out for help'. Her claim states: 'She was left lying partially across the first rail of the track, closest to the station platform. 'The claimant attempted to manoeuvre her right foot and leg across the first rail in order to retrieve her mobile telephone. She cried out for help, but nobody came to her assistance.' She was unable to move into a recess space in the platform wall as it was blocked by a steel frame and 'excess ballast', it is claimed. It is disputed by TfL that there are different safety procedures for trains departing from a terminus station, as opposed to a station elsewhere on the line. 'The same checks are required on dispatching a train from a terminus station and a non-terminus station,' TfL said. Ms de Lagarde was airlifted to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel where where she underwent surgery before being transferred to the Amputee Rehabilitation Unit in Lambeth on October 20. She was discharged home on December 1, 2022. Ms de Lagarde receives ongoing care at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore. A TfL spokesperson said: 'We are responding to a legal claim brought by Sarah de Lagarde. 'It is not appropriate to discuss details of our defence while this case is ongoing. 'Our thoughts continue to be with Sarah and her family following this terrible incident, and we will continue to make every possible effort to learn from any incident on the Tube network.
