A quiet Merseyside village was shaken by a shooting outside a pub in broad daylight.
At around 4.20pm on July 31, a man was shot in the leg outside the Golden Lion pub, in Rainford, St Helens. With the small rural village normally being one of the most quiet areas in the region, the community has been left deeply concerned.
At the time of the shooting, both a cricket match and a christening were taking place in the surrounding area. One resident who lives on a street surrounding the pub told the ECHO : "It's absolutely shocking, you just don't get stuff like that going on around here.
