Children were “out playing” in a street in Croxteth moments before shots were fired, according to terrifed residents.
A police cordon on Kynance Road was lifted on Thursday morning, July 28, after reports of gunshots the previous evening. People living on the street could be seen nervously looking out of their windows as police officers made door-to-door enquiries.
One person living on the street said the presence of the police cordon had been like "living in lockdown again". The area became notably busier with dog walkers later in the day as people appeared to become more confident to leave their homes.
