Police have appealed to the "criminal fraternity" in Liverpool to turn in the masked gunman who killed a nine-year-old girl as he chased his intended target into her home.
Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said the “shocking” killing of Olivia Pratt-Korbel “crossed every single boundary” as the force asked anyone with information about the killer to come forward. Olivia died on Monday night when a 35-year-old man, unknown to the family, ran into her terraced house in Kingsheath Avenue, in the Dovecot area of Liverpool, in an attempt to get away from a shooter, police said.
Her mother Cheryl Korbel, 46, was shot in the wrist as she tried to close the door on the gunman while Olivia stood behind her.
