'Forgotten' community reeling from tragedy after Olivia Pratt-Korbel killing

On a street just yards from where nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot dead, two women are talking. One defiantly states: "If I knew anything of course I would say so, you have to when a little child is involved."

The mood in the area continues to be a mixture of shock and anger. People still can't get their head around what has happened and the heavy police presence continues to leave everyone on edge. Many have flocked to the only community space around over the past few days, keen to talk, to cry, to vent - and to pass on information.

The Drive centre has been at the heart of this community for more than two decades. Now run by the Big Help Project charity, it is based literally yards away from where Olivia was shot dead on Monday night.
