Messages of support and condolence have been sent to the friends and family of Ashely Dale.
On the day when she will be laid to rest, mourners have paid tribute to the Knowsley Council worker, who was described by her boss as a "rising star." The 28-year-old was shot dead when a gunman forced open the front door of her house in Leinster Road, Old Swan, in the early hours of Sunday, August 21.
Emergency services carried out CPR at the scene but Miss Dale was pronounced dead a short while later in Royal Liverpool Hospital. Police said they believe she was not the intended victim of the gun attack and that the suspect fired multiple shots "indiscriminately."
