The nine-year-old was shot in the chest at around 10pm on Monday, August 22, and was rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in a critical condition where she died a short time later. A man also suffered gunshot wounds to his body and a woman was shot in the hand during the incident in the house, on Kingsheath Avenue.
