Girl, 15, shot in the neck at bus stop said she 'didn't want to make a fuss'

A girl who was shot as she waited for a bus home from school told police "it still doesn't feel like it's happened to me".

The 15-year-old was struck in the neck by one of six bullets fired by Rio Jones as he chased another man through the streets of Toxteth on an electric bike. The 19-year-old is currently standing trial charged with the attempted murder of the "target", as well as causing the schoolgirl grievous bodily harm with intent.

Liverpool Crown Court was today played video footage of her recorded interview with police following the incident, which saw her suffer "very serious injuries" - including lung damage and three fractured vertebrae. In it, she described how she was on her way home from school and sat at a bus stop on Upper Warwick Street when she saw a group of men on bikes ride past.
