Another man has been shot close to an estate where police have been trying to tackle a notorious organised crime group.
The Woodchurch estate in Birkenhead has seen an unprecedented spike in gun violence over the past couple of years, including a drive by shooting in full view of children that left a man fighting for his life.
That shocking attack took place near a busy row of shops on Hoole Road in March, while on December 3 a man was shot in the legs close by on Orrets Meadow Road.
