A grandmother-of-five who was gunned down in the doorway of her own home was the innocent victim of a revenge attack, her heartbroken family have claimed. Jackie Rutter, 53, was shot in the chest in the doorway of her home at around 1.45am on Sunday, October 30.
Police have described the fatal shooting in Moreton, near Liverpool, as a "targeted attack." Jackie's daughter's partner told the Echo that the family believed she was deliberately targeted by gangland thugs who had been making threats towards her and her family for weeks.
He said: "This is payback. It came out weeks ago that if they couldn't get to who they wanted, they would get to her instead. Jackie wouldn't hurt a fly. She was the sweetest woman you could ever meet.
