Gun shots fired, 'amazing' teen dies and restaurant is number one

Good afternoon, these are the latest lunchtime ECHO headlines.

Gun shots fired through window of a house

Gun shots have been fired at a house in Seacombe.

Shots were fired through the window of a house, on Stanley Street, at around 12.35am on Friday, September 16. Detectives visited the scene and found damage to the ground floor window.

Detective Inspector John Mullen from Merseyside police's Firearm Investigation Team said: "This initially appears to be a targeted incident.

"Although nobody was hurt, any shots fired at a property have the potential to cause devastation to anyone inside or nearby. If you live in the area and saw or heard anything suspicious from around midnight, including people or vehicles making off, get in touch."

'Amazing' teen with 'infectious smile' dies aged 16

An "amazing" teenager with an "infectious smile" has died at the age of 16.

Ffion Davies died at her home in Holywell, Flintshire, on August 18 after a brave battle with cystic fibrosis - a genetic condition that tends to get worse over time and shortens life expectancy. Doctors and nurses from Alder Hey Children 's Hospital attended Ffion's funeral last Friday, September 9, to pay their respects.

Tributes to Ffion were led by her uncle, Liam Thorley, who said: "She was such an amazing, family-orientated girl, and had the most infectious smile you could ever see. She was in and out of hospital her whole life but the way she dealt with it was just absolutely amazing - she was so brave."
