The murder of "beautiful and happy" Elle Edwards stunned a tight knit community where children have been left asking questions about guns.
The 26-year-old beautician was struck in the head by a bullet when a gunman opened fire at the entrance to the Lighthouse Pub, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve. Detectives say they believe Elle was not the intended target and was simply caught in the crossfire as the killer tried to shoot someone else.
Four other men were injured in the attack, aged between 22 and 33, including a 28-year-old man from the Beechwood estate who was initially described as being a critical condition. His condition has now improved, according to police.
