The shot schoolboy was walking to school in Kesgrave, near Ipswich, Suffolk on September 7 2020 when he was gunned down.
The shooter explained is victim had caused him "humiliation and fear" which he planned on retaliating to by wielding a weapon at him.
Pulling the trigger was unintentional, the 16-year-old said.

However the defendant was deemed not guilty for causing fear of unlawful violence.
