A mum who sent a text to her daughters encouraging them to come home from the pub where Elle Edwards was shot later that evening is "counting her blessings".
Elle was enjoying a night out with friends and family when she was fatally shot at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village on Christmas Eve.
The 26-year-old, who worked as a beautician at Nova Hair and Beauty Studio in Moreton, is not believed to be the intended target of the shooting.
