A nine-year-old girl who was shot dead at her home had a 'beautiful smile, a lovely sense of humour and a bubbly personality', the headteacher of her school has said. Olivia Pratt-Korbel was killed as she stood behind her mother who was trying to stop a gunman entering the family home in Liverpool.
Rebecca Wilkinson, headteacher at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Junior School in Huyton, paid tribute to the "bubbly" little girl who she said would always try to help others. She said Olivia had recently performed in the school production of The Wizard of Oz, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Ms Wilkinson said: “Our school community is devastated at the sad loss of Olivia. We are in shock and disbelief at such tragic news. Olivia was a much loved member of our school.
