"Gun crime is something you see on TV or in the newspapers, you don't expect to see it on your doorstep in Wirral."
These are the words of Wallasey councillor Ian Lewis, but they could have been said by many people living in the area of Wirral where 26-year-old Elle Edwards was tragically shot dead on Christmas Eve.
As police continue to investigate the senseless murder, the community is still trying to come to terms with the horrors of the night before Christmas.
