Shaken neighbours of a nine-year-old girl shot and killed in her own home have expressed disgust at the horrific crime. And political leaders across the city also shared their shock and fury at the tragedy.
A mystery gunman burst into the house in the Knotty Ash area of Liverpool on Monday night and shot the little girl in the chest. A man and a woman in the house on Kingsheath Roas also suffered gunshot wounds.
People living nearby were visibly shaken by the events of the night, reports the Liverpool Echo. One neighbour described the incident as "disgusting".
