Merseyside’s police and crime commissioner said police “need to be relentless” to get guns off the streets in the wake of Elle Edwards' murder.
Elle was fatally shot while out with friends on Christmas Eve when a gunman fired a volley of bullets at the Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey. The events have shocked a community unused to seeing this kind of violence.
Emily Spurrell, whose role involves holding the police to account, said: “My heart absolutely goes out to Elle’s family and friends. I went up to the pub this morning and saw some of the flowers and tributes people had been leaving."
