This is the first picture of a nine-year-old girl who was fatally shot as she stood behind her mother as a gunman tried to enter the family home.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel died after the shooting on Monday night when a 35-year-old man, unknown to the family, ran into the terraced house in Kingsheath Avenue, in the Dovecot area of Liverpool, in an attempt to get away from a shooter, Merseyside Police said. Her mother Cheryl Korbel, 46, was shot in the wrist as she tried to close the door on the gunman while her nine-year-old daughter stood behind her.
The man who had entered their home suffered gunshot wounds to his upper body and, as Olivia lay dying, was picked up and taken to hospital by friends driving a dark-coloured Audi. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said: "We will not rest until those who are responsible are put behind bars. I can guarantee that no stone will be left unturned."
