Children consoled one another as a heartbroken local community came together to pay tribute to Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Nine-year-old Olivia was fatally shot in the chest at around 10pm on Monday (August 22). Merseyside Police believe a 35-year-old man, who was being chased by a man armed with a gun, forced his way into Olivia's house on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot.
The offender ran in after him, firing a number of shots - one of which hit Olivia's mum Cheryl in the wrist before fatally wounding Olivia. Police remain on the hunt for the gunman, while the local community has been rocked by what Mayor Joanne Anderson called "an appalling act of evil".
