Mr Johnson tweeted this afternoon to say that his thoughts were with the family of the nine-year-old who was shot dead in Dovecot last night. Police are hunting a man who burst into her home and fired the bullets that killed her.
Mr Johnson said: "My thoughts are with Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s family and the people of Liverpool following this horrific, senseless shooting. This is an unimaginable tragedy and we will ensure Merseyside Police get whatever they need to catch those responsible and secure justice for Olivia."
