He was subsequently sentenced to eight years and ten weeks in youth custody.
The case related to the shooting of a 17 year old boy from Yateley at a garage block in Hearsey Gardens, Blackwater, on February 10, 2018.
The victim, now aged 19, was left permanently paralysed due to his injuries.

Johnson drove the suspect to a location in Chertsey where he kept a boat and allowed him to change clothes and stay overnight before he took the suspect to hand himself in at Basingstoke Police Investigation Centre.
After being summonsed to court, Johnson subsequently failed to appear and was later arrested on a warrant in Pattaya, Thailand, in August 2019. He was deported to the UK.
Both will be sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on April 24.
