Two men have been arrested in connection with a savage point blank shooting on a West Derby street.
The victim, a 23-year-old man, was sitting close to a memorial for a murdered friend in Croxdale Road West when he was ambushed, at around 4.55pm on Saturday, July 2. Harrowing mobile phone video footage, captured by a witness, showed the gunman appearing to stand over the victim holding a handgun, before seven loud bangs rang out in quick succession.
He was hit several times in the legs and back, and was driven to hospital by passers-by who dropped him off at A&E before leaving the scene. The gunman was said to have fled the area in a white Seat Leon car.
