Children held hands as they placed flowers at the scene where a nine-year-old girl was fatally shot.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel was killed 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 mum Cheryl Korbel, 46, was shot in the wrist as she tried to close the door on the gunman while Olivia stood behind her.
Police remain on the hunt for the 'evil' gunman, while the local community and city has been rocked by the 'shocking and appalling' attack'. Floral tributes were left next to the cordon yesterday, many of which contained condolences to Olivia's family.
