A mum whose daughters were in the same pub where Elle Edwards was shot dead said she 'counts her blessings' after sending them a text.
Elle was enjoying a night out with friends and her sister on Christmas Eve, when she was shot in the head in the Lighthouse pub, in Wallasey Village. The 26-year-old beautician was not believed to have been the intended target of the horrific shooting.
People woke up on Christmas Day to the tragic news of Elle's death, with many having visited the Lighthouse that night to celebrate the festive season with friends and family. One woman - named only as Ellen - told the Liverpool Echo how her daughters were among those who spent Christmas Eve in the pub.
