A WOMAN has admitted shouting 'bang bang' at the police officer who was blinded by gunman Raoul Moat.
Kelsey Donkin, 22, from Southwick, Sunderland, was showing off in front of a group of about 12 people when Pc David Rathband walked into Newcastle Crown Court on March 2.
He was attending the trial of two of Moat's accomplices.
Donkin also made a gun gesture at Pc Rathband, whose sight has been lost forever.
The shotgun maniac had blasted him twice in the face as he sat, unarmed, in his patrol car last July.
Donkin had denied the public order offence of causing Pc Rathband harassment or distress at a hearing earlier this year and was due to go on trial at Newcastle Magistrates Court, where she changed her plea.
She will be sentenced later today.
