A nine-year-old girl has died after being shot in her home in Liverpool.
The victim was inside a house on Kingsheath Avenue, in Dovecot, at around 10pm last night (Sunday) when a man burst into the property and fired a number of shots, the Liverpool Echo reports. She suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Tragically, she died a short time later, police said. A man inside the home also suffered a number of gunshots to his body while a woman was shot in the hand before the gunman fled the scene.
