Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has accused some of trying to push an agenda that Liverpool is not a safe place in response to a recent spate of shootings.
The Metro Mayor criticised some media outlets from outside the city have the 'intention of doing Liverpool down' in their wider coverage of gun violence following the shocking murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbell.
Mayor Rotheram said: "Nothing will ever take away from what's happened in the past few days. Everyone's sympathy is rightly with the family of Olivia.
