The impact of the atrocious murder of Elle Edwards has been felt throughout Wallasey and the wider Wirral area.
Schools in the community have been particularly keen to make sure that pupils feel supported and are not left in fear after the indiscriminate shooting. Elle died after a bullet struck her in the head as she stood by the front entrance of the Lighthouse Inn, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve.
A gunman, understood to have been waiting outside the pub in a black Mercedes for around an hour before, fired in the region of 10 to 12 shots towards a crowded area before fleeing in the vehicle. Four other men, aged between 22 and 33, were also wounded although they are all expected to recover.
