Olivia Pratt-Korbel's mum begged "stay with me baby" when she realised the schoolgirl had been shot by a bullet which passed through her front door, a jury heard.
The nine-year-old had been in bed but was frightened by the sound of gunshots and ran downstairs, shouting "mum I'm scared", ending up standing directly behind where Cheryl Korbel, 46, was fighting to keep a man from forcing his way inside.
Manchester Crown Court heard the fatal shot penetrated the door, passed through Ms Korbel's right hand and struck Olivia in the centre of her chest, at the property on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on Monday, August 22, last year.
